Superstitious me

If you think I don't have anything to do with Pakistan's triumphs and struggles.. think again.
Here are my top 10 things that I do while watching a match.

1. No one's allowed to praise a batsman if he's playing well (No jinxing!!!!).. Most of the times a batsman gets out while the commentator is pooja karing of the player.

2. While Pakistan bats .. no one is allowed to go to the bathroom before the end of an over. They can go in when it finishes and come out before the next one starts.
But if its the opposition batting then if someone is in the bathroom and the bowler gets a wicket they are supposed to stay inside until the next ball.

3. I act like I've lost hope ;)

4. If it's an extremely tense match the Quran is brought out and put on top of the TV.. sometimes I go overboard and chirkofy some namak on it.

5. If Pakistan's playing well and someone who was not watching the match before comes in to watch ..and Pakistan starts to shit .. the new entry is driven out.

6. Pray !!!!!! eg: pleaseeee allahh miyaaaaa if Pakistan wins I'll do *insert a good deed here* .. lol .. a choti se mannat :D

7. If I'm in a particular position when a wicket falls I never change that position ..sometimes during a whole game. (Same goes for anyone around me)

8. ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGING THE CHANNEL WHEN PAKISTAN BATS. No way! If someone does that and switches back to the match a wicket ALWAYS falls and it makes me MAD because it's their fault!

9. If Pakistan's batting and its a pressure situation..lyk fewer balls and more runs .. or if a player is close to his century .. those nevous 90s..I close my eyes right before the batsmen hits the ball. (That's how I missed Inzy's 1 ball 1 run and Misbah's scoop in the T20 WC..)
If Pakistan's bowling I don't look at the delivery bowled but I always look at the shot :p

10. 111 - always lift one foot off the ground during this freakishly unlucky nelson.

I totally sound retarded right now but it's ok to do be a little insane for the sake of cricket and it's not like I sound anything close to normal thru my ilogs anyway.

Im pretty sure (or I'm hoping) I'm not the only one with these kind of superstitions.
Usually when Pakistan loses or when a batsman gets out when he shouldn't have or a player drops a catch.. I blame myself. lol
