I grew out of all that hocus pocus.

Now I just walk down to the local temple (conveniently 5 mins walk from my house) and do a bare. This is of course fine since the power of bare and pirith is backed by science.

I never really had superstitions (even when I was playing at school level), but I think those things can in fact help players in a way. Sitting in one place, or putting on gear in a certain way or whatever doesn't really have an impact on real outcome, but I think it can help you do better personally, since you believe in it. It's like sort of a mini-meditation if you will, doing things that way probably can help you as a player calm down and focus, and give you that confidence, and not give you anxiety that you broke your pattern or whatever.

Obviously I don't think it really matters if you sit in one place or whatever as a fan; the theory about it changing the course of future in the universe probably far too infinitesimal for an individual to affect, and even if they can affect there's no way of knowing which way it's going to affect.

Contrary to what you think mods/admins don't wake up thinking who can I ban today (except in the case of Randy)

Yes but during the "previous" regime....we could have banter...and if you get slightly hurt by it...you guys wait for that moment of weakness as block to rejoice. Forget my case...I mean thinly veiled threats and etc. It has changed so much in 2021. Don't know what happened

Banter has always been allowed and encouraged. You crossed the line. But you couldn't accept the repercussions of crossing the line. In terms of banns and moderation, nothing has changed.

No idea what "you guys wait for that moment of weakness as block to rejoice" means. Speak English for queen's sake.

None of this stands a chance in the face of a bare done properly. Especially if you can find all the fruits.

WTF is a bare done.

Maybe it needs an extra a.

Baare as in like Pooja.

Not to be confused with Barre.

On forum bans

Gave so much leeway to people. Kept requesting/warning instead of issuing long bans, but Admins had to draw a line somewhere. I can think of 4 people here who wouldn't have lasted even 4 weeks on other cricket forums if they posted the same way. Don't abuse the freedom given to you and then complain.

Don't question TO, Muga and Jamis. They don't use a heavy-handed approach at all. If anything, they tolerate regular troublemakers (who never grow up) too much and work behind the scenes to keep them here.

I don't handle this department anymore. However, I will be activated if anyone gives them a tough time for doing their job. Let's not go there

Any one else here have any weird things when they watch games? lot of my teammates have similar rituals, things like they pad up in a certain way or walk round and wound around the ground

None when watching the match. When I used to play tennis ball cricket, I always had to chew gun before the match. When I started playing club cricket here, I don't drink the night before, even if the match is an afternoon amtch or eat anything that may force me to use portable toilet the next day in the field. If the match is a T20, starting at 8:00 I wake up early, go to the ground 1.5hr earlier at least and I have to stretch for minimum 45 mins. If I have a 50 over match, which starts at 1PM or at 2PM, I'd always have the same food. I'd have 2 sandwhich(4 slices of bred) around 10:30 consisting of 2 boiled eggs with pepper, salt, bit of mayonese, tomatoe slices, romaine salad, onion and cucumber. Before the toss, I'd have a banana with water. If it is a hot, Canadian humidex of 9.5 like weather, I'd toss a Gatorade bottle by the boundary as I'm generally fielding there, mostly on deep midwicket, sweeper area and have once in a while.
