Does Smith retiring on 111 & Key going out on 87 portend anything for the future?
In this era of evidence based practice & our rational world is there any room for superstition?
Players wear the same underpants / jocks etc so as not to offend the gods of cricket.

'No way I get paid enough to be facing him' - Key.
Thirteen years ago in Australia, Rob Key faced up to Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie at their best. Facing up to a rapid Mitchell Johnson at Canterbury, he used long-suppressed memories of those days to combat a bowler who had him questioning whether Kent paid him enough danger money for the task.
"For a large part of that I thought, there is no way I get paid enough to be facing him. And I do alright for myself, don't get me wrong," Key said. "He is a different level. The pace he has, he gets the odd one to swing. It doesn't matter which pitch you are on, that bloke is a serious bowler. He can intimidate you but he can also move the ball around a little bit. He's tough.
"You don't face that type of bowling in county cricket. For the first bit out there, you had to kind of remember what you used to do against bowlers like that. He's a proper, proper bowler."
With competition tight for pace bowling places in the Australian side, some have speculated that Johnson may find himself running the drinks despite his shattering displays in the 2013-14 Ashes. Key struggled to picture that.
"I think if he wasn't playing there would be a lot of batters quite happy," he said. "We've seen it in the Ashes back home, he's just quick and he's something different to everyone else. But they've got a battery of seamers now. They are all just very very good, but his pace and what he can do ... Clarke uses him brilliantly because he keeps him fresh. He's a different level."

Nice when when of their own remind England how dangerous MJ can be.

The two all-rounders, Watto and M Marsh are going head-to-head at the moment - with the bat.
Watson 55* (47 balls), Marsh 42* just hit 4,6,4 in that over.
Oz 2/194. The lead is 422.

4/291. M Marsh 101 ret. (94 balls and 5 sixes)
515 ahead.
Mitch Marsh did his cause no harm but enough to oust Watto from #6 in the Test XI ?
That Watto (81 from 76) also had a good innings just keeps it interesting.

Not sure why Pup's not called them in.
Only possible reason c/would be to give Hads some more batting time.
