Have a laugh
Advice to captain
The wicket-keeper had a high opinion of himself and was very free with his advice to the captain.
'Oh really,' said the captain icily, 'and who's the other one?'
Old team-mates
Two old cricketers were talking in the club.
'What was your highest score?'
'A hundred and ten not out.'
'Mine was a hundred and twenty not out'.
'And what was the most number of wickets you took?'.
'Oh, no. This time it's your turn to go first.'
That wasn't out
In a tense game, a batsman was given run out, a decision with which he obviously disagreed. He paced up and down outside the pavilion until the umpires came in.
'I wasn't out, you know,' he said to the umpire.
'Oh no? Look in the paper tomorrow!' said the umpire .
We have to win
On the day of the local match, the captain was talking to one of his men. 'Look, here's a pound,' he said. 'Go out and buy a new ball or something. Anything that'll help us win.' The match began and the captain noticed that the same old ball was being used. He called his man over. '
What did you do with the pound?' he asked.
'Well, you said anything to help us win.' 'Yes.' 'I gave it to the umpire.'
How would I know?
In the absence of their regular umpire, the village team was making do with a local farmer, who knew nothing of the rules. After the third ball of the over, the entire field turned round with a tremendous yell of 'Owzat!'
The umpire paused. 'Well, how would I know?' he said. 'His leg was in the way !'
Worst spell
In school, the sports master and English teacher asked one of his brighter pupils to spell "bowling".
Back came the answer : "B-o-e-l-i-n." "That," said he, "is the worst spell of bowling I've ever seen."
I will Hold on
Indian Team Manager : "Hello"(over Phone)
Caller :"Can I talk to Azharuddin Please,I am his friend and
calling from Hyderabad."
Indian Team Manager:"Sorry,he went to bat"
Azharuddin's friend:"No Problem Manager, I will Hold on"
I am Javagal
After the shameful defeat of Indian cricket team infinal of PEPSI CUP 99 in Bangalore, the team members were not able toshow their faces to people and they chose not to go in public andrather just pack up in hotel rooms.
Dravid could not resist for too long to be in hometown and still not beable to go out shopping and have fun. So he disguises himself as aSardar and goes out. he meets a woman at the exit of the hotel who greetshim "Hi Dravid!"
Surprised for having been caught he comes back andmakes himself up as a muslim woman - in Burkha etc and goes out. Yet sameagain - the same woman greets him "Hi Dravid!".
Dravid comes back determined to give it yet anothertry with the make up of a Hippie wig and shorts etc. All in vain - the same lady catches him again and greets him "Hi Dravid!". Bewildered by now, he could not help asking,
"How did you recongise me?"
The lady replied - "I am Javagal Srinath!"

Cricket in heaven!!!!
Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, now pretty old guys, 75 and 76 years old, are sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons and talking aboutcricket,like they do every day.
Sachin turns to Sourav and says, "Do you think there's cricket inheaven?"
Ganguly thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let'smake a deal: if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there'scricket inheaven, and if you die first, you do the same.
"They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Sachin passes on.
One day soon afterward, Ganguly is sitting there feeding the pigeons by himself when he hears a voice whisper, "Sourav...Sourav!"
Ganguly responds, "Sachin! Is that you?"
"Yes it is, Sourav," whispers Sachin's ghost.
Ganguly, still amazed, asks, "So, is there cricket in heaven?"
"Well," says Sachin, "I've got good news and bad news."
"Gimme the good news first," says Ganguly.
Sachin says, "Well... there is cricket in heaven."
Ganguly says, "That's great! What news could be bad enough to ruinthat?"
Sachin sighs and whispers, "You are going to open the innings thisFriday."
