Why palmistry is a load of crap

Sanath Jayasuriya's Test career ended in defeat and a dislocated thumb. And while he remains eager to play at the World Cup, it's unlikely that he'll be consulting the palm reader at the Mahaweli Reach Hotel. On Monday, Jayasuriya, one of Sri Lanka's most superstitious cricketers, had sat before her wanting to know about his future, a world without Test cricket. As Charlie Austin wrote on Cricinfo, "She'd confidently predicted a successful future. But she'd not seen his tragically sad injury the following day. Needless to say, business was not swift on Tuesday night." Ouch.
