Cricket in Heaven

[jugglingogre]

two blokes were sat at the bar watching the Aussies belt the Poms by an innings and 160 odd runs...again.

Bloke 1 looks at bloke 2 and says, "Mate if you make it up to heaven before me, will you be sure to come back and let me know if they have cricket up there or not? Hell, I don't wanna go if they don't have cricket!"

Bloke 2 knocks back his beer and replies. "No wukkas; as long as you do the same for me."

Sure enough, after too many drinks bloke 2 stumbles out of the bar and in front of a tram.

Next thing he knows is he is in the clouds, the Pearly White Gates (he notes with interest are actually mother of pearl inlaid into fine Aussie hardwood) a coldy in his hand and a game going on. Remembering his promise to his mate left behind, he descends from Heaven to have a chat with Bloke 1.

Bloke 1 of course is very surprised to see Bloke 2 but overcomes his awe and asks the vital question, "So do they play cricket in Heaven?"

Bloke 2 looks funnily at Bloke 1 and replies. "I got some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first?"

Bloke 1 thinks a bit before responding, "The good news."

"Well" says Bloke 2, "You will be happy to know that Cricket is a major sport in Heaven."

"And what's the bad news?" asks Bloke 1.

"I had a look at the score sheet and you are next in the batting order...."
