A man was in a pub, describing his first cricket match to his mates.
'Well,' he said, 'these two old men in white coats come out, followed by
eleven more, also in white.
Then a couple of fellows with small planks of wood come out, one of the
other lot threw a ball at him,
he took a swipe at it, and if I 'adn't pushed the wife in the way, it would
have smashed me right in the face!'
