fineleg Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I think dial mentioned, she gets cramped in the chair watching. I sometimes do that too!!! "It has always happened that whenever I watch TV, Praveen does not take wickets. So, I stood outside while the match was on," said Praveen's brother. Other such ICF-ers superstitions, silly, funny, whatever...bring it on. I only watch it from my favorite chair and sometimes wear fav. clothes. Link to comment

Desi Cartman Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ponting got out when I opened the first beer .. so I had to drink through the game :cantstop: Link to comment
The Outsider Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ponting got out when I opened the first beer .. so I had to drink through the game :cantstop: LOL! Reminds me of the India-Pakistan '03 game. I had poured myself some wine and was taking a sip from it when Tendulkar hit THAT six. My friends made me drink the entire game after that! Link to comment
flamy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 haha...ya i get cramps and itches that i dont attend to. nowadays however, i'm letting them go. superstitions are only for the weak anyhow, not when my team can imbue this much confidence. Link to comment
anbuchelvan Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I used wear the Indian blue.I have 3 t shirts.I used to wear it by random.One particular shirt always bring luck to India.So I have decided to wear the same shirt on Sunday and Tuesday. Link to comment
flamy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 whenever I wear the shirt, we lose :D and also during the 20-20's there was this advertisment with priyanka chopra about some scooty or smth. there was this old man who plays the driver. now whenever there was a crucial moment in the game and this ad came up n i saw that old man, I knew we we were going to win that moment. :icflove: Also, whenever Michael Slater says "Oh, dear!", we know it is curtains for Australia :yay: Link to comment

Guest Hiten. Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I have learned something new in this CB series. I did NOT surf the net/icf while the finals (of CB) were on, and guess what ? (Check ICF Banner :giggle:) Stupid ? Maybe. But it works :icflove: Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 it can be a problem when having 2-3 TVs at home....if i am watching india bat and is doing well...then i watch the whole innings on that TV only..do not move to any other place... but when india is not doing well...i switch TVs to see it that bring any luck..:haha: Link to comment
flamy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 ah...yes the tv switching thing...recently though sky sports sux for india, star is best, good alt is cbn Link to comment
Desi Cartman Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Did you tell her to go back to sleep' date=' desi_downunder? :D[/quote'] yes .. ofcourse .. she had to :cantstop: she couldnt sleep though but I made sure that her eyes were closed ... Once Indian won then I got a beating from her , she then realized what she had missed :nervous: Link to comment
Desi Cartman Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 haha' date=' he must have knocked her out for the final over with the way misbah was going :D[/quote'] Actually till that time I didnt know much about Misbah and thought he didnt have a chance .. but my views changed in the last 2 overs Link to comment
bharat297 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I tend to drink a lot of water during the match. Link to comment
amits Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 the indian performance tends to depend too much on the television set on which they r watched. when i watch the indian team play in the 14" tv at home, india does well during that time & when i watch the indian team play in the 21" tv at home, india does not do well. india wins over 90% of the matches when they r being watched on the 14" televsion set but on the 21" television set, the success rate dips to less than 20% and i watched the entire 20/20 world cup & cb series on the 14" television set Link to comment
