Social Science Superstitions

[clivewaterhousen]

I have never really been superstitious

however, i am starting to develop some after i bought a new pair of shoes. I got a pair of adidas cricket shoes to replace the asics runners that I have always used for cricket, because i was slipping too much in the field.

I was coming of a 5 for (which included a bloke who had a WACA contract last year) and a 2 for bugger all in my first 2 games of A grade.

since i bought the shoes I have contributed 0 wickets and 9 runs in 3 games against sides that are alot worse than the teams i got wickets against (got wickets against the two grand finalists last year).

could be because of the switch to one day cricket, but I am considering getting rid of the shoes.

theres a guy in my team who wont allow us to run around the oval in the warmup unless we go in an anticlockwise direction, and noone is allowed to touch his stuff or he spits it.

what are your superstitions?

(i tried to search for an old thread but the search shit itself)

The night before I have to play an important footy game i have to watch a sports movie oo pump me up remember the titans, coach carter, never back down etc.

the night before collingwoods grand final draw i watched Any Given Sunday

Before a game of footy when my coach tells me im going to be playing in the forward line (play both back and forward), I always go onto the oval by myself and have set shots, aiming at the right hand goal post, just to remember to do it, because I think of my right to left kicking action, and that I might aim wrong once. Works well for me.

of course!


maybe i can just put a powerband over the shoe?

 

[Ochre]

you'd need to buy two and put them over both shoes, otherwise one foot would move faster than the other and you'd just spin in circles
