    According to superstition and to avoid bad luck, what Chinese dish do cricketers prefer not to eat on the night before a test match?

    		Duck.

    Nic Pothas blasted Hampshire to a solid start in their defence of the C & G Trophy - after refusing to eat duck the night before.

    Superstitious Pothas smashed a brilliant 69 from just 74 balls as Hampshire beat Ireland by seven wickets, and with 16.2 overs to spare at the Clontarf CC in Dublin.

    A few days after setting a new Hampshire record by taking seven catches in an innings, Pothas ensured that there would be no slip up - the night after enjoying a Chinese meal with his teammates in Dublin.
