The phenomenon where a cricket player leaves their cricket attire out to dry overnight and a series of 'evil spirits' sneak into the kit and curse the player.

Note: the evil spirits cause poor batting (usually scoring 0 runs), terrible fielding and erratic bowling.
Cricket Cursed: The spirits can only be discouraged from the 'whites' by a strong and serious threat of burning.

On serious occasions, it is essential to destroy (by burning) the whites to eradicate the evil spirits.
