As the latest instalment in the Mishits series, we're crossing our fingers for soon-to-be England batsman Adam Lyth, who it could be argued is the victim of some supernaturally bad luck ...
Adam Lyth has shrugged off any sense of horror at the possibility of becoming England's 666th Test debutant - despite the number's satanic connotations.
The Yorkshire batsman is expected to make his Test debut in the upcoming series against New Zealand and remains more focused on enjoying the moment than being side-tracked by his unfortunate association with the anti-Christ.
The ECB would be open to a request to skip the number based on religious or superstitious reasons, but Lyth said he doesn't care if he is left bearing the devil's mark in the first Test at Lord's on May 21.
"Any Test number, I'm not bothered," he told the ECB's website. "A Test debut at Lord's, walking through the Long Room with Alastair Cook to open the batting for England - it doesn't get much better than that, does it?"
"It will be one of the proudest moments of my life, and the same for my family."
