I wear a sweatband on my left arm. There has been the odd occasion where I forgot to put it on, and I didn't notice for a little while, but once I notice that it isn't on, it starts really play on my mind - I think it's completely ridiculous, but I just can't help it.

On the necklace front, there's a company called phiten that do trion-z style necklaces. Many Major League Baseball players wear them.

I open the batting and never really feel comfortable if I haven't got a cricket jumper on. Don't know why it just feels familiar   ???

I never thought I was superstitious till i started playing cricket :(

In my early days it used to be a hand kerchief tied around my head like a sweatband, never batted without it, if i ever had to take it off I would never undo the knot and just put it in my pocket. Now I can't/don't play or feel confident without my ankle braces, I hurt my ankle 14 years ago and have always worn a brace on both feet since then even though they are fine now  :o

I used to always chew gum while I batted bcz I got really nervous so was something to do but have stopped doing that now. I like to always wear a long sleeve top though is another one.

Sweatband is the only thing, though I wish there were brands that supplied sausage gloves with towelled thumbs...

Love the custard cream idea - may try it with a dairy milk bar...

I have no superstitions or anything like this. I'm sure that'll change when I am next on a bad run of form and make a connection between that ending and some ordinary item.

I just realised that for the half of the season I batted with a 10 cent coin in my left shoe. When I changed shoes my form dropped dramatically.

I have my box in an old sock. I am extremely superstitious where cricket is concerned. I would imagine it is highly prevalent in cricket generally, the superstition part not having your box in an old sock!
