helloooooo cricket fam

so this is based off the fact that every. single. time. I put on the radio to listen to the Warks/Yorks match they go straight off for the weather (more to do with THE WEATHER than me putting the radio on but hey), that in the end I just decided not to bother listening and check the text updates instead

also a tradition in my house that every time someone leaves the room, a wicket falls, and that Ben Stokes fails every time my mum watches him

so, yeah, are there any little superstitions/little traditions that you have when you watch cricket (or any sport), those things that have no bearing whatsoever on what happens, but you do them anyway?

I always joke about leaving the room/going to the toilet/switching off the TV when something happens but if it’s something I want to keep happening, I will definitely keep doing it >.>

Also if I’m watching live, even on TV, and I need to go to the loo, I have definitely held it in case me leaving the room means a goal scored against my team/a wicket falling. This is dumb. And yet.

When we were about to win the Ashes in 2005 i left the room and when i came back the door had been locked so i wasn’t allowed back in to jinx the finish ;(

Worked though dinnit >.>

I should do some writing, but I’m not in the mood anymore. Why can’t I just let things go??? 

For a while back there i thought i had it, but nope, it’s gone again. Time to cut myself off from the world and all humans again, hey ho

Tfw you’re writing very nicely in your head and you know 100% that if you start to commit it to Gdocs it’ll all go horribly wrong so you just don’t write it down at all :S
