Cricketers and their superstitions

Neil McKenzie- The most superstitious cricketer

Neil McKenzie is the most superstitious cricketer to have played the game of cricket

Neil McKenzie certainly tops the list as far as the weirdest superstitions are concerned in the game of cricket.

The right-handed batsman from South Africa made sure that all the toilet seats in the dressing room were down before he went out to bat. If that was not enough, Neil also needed to have all the lights in the changing room off before he went out in the middle to play his first ball. And finally, he had to tap his bat on the ceiling before each game.

McKenzie went on to play 58 Tests and 64 ODIs for South Africa and averaged 37.39 and 37.51 in Tests and ODIs respectively before retiring from international cricket in 2009.
