>"Vic," says Nev, "You know how we have both loved cricket all our lives,

>Vic looks up at Nev from his death bed, and says,

>"So, tell me the good news first," says Nev

>or snows. And best of all, we can play cricket all we want, and we never
>get tired!"
>
>"Really?" says Nev, "That is fantastic, wonderful beyond my wildest
>dreams! But, what's the bad news?"
>
>"You're opening the batting next Tuesday"
