Too Good :)

It is rarely that cannot control my laughter and for that his joke deserves a place here:

"Bomber" Wells, a spin bowler and great character, played for Glocuestershire and
Nottinghamshire. He used to bat at No.11 since one couldn't bat any lower. Of him,
They used to paraphrase Compton 's famous words describing and equally inept runner;
"When he shouts 'YES' for a run, it is merely the basis for further negotiations!"
Incidentally, Compton was no better. John Warr said, of Compton "He was the only person
who would call you for a run and wish you luck at the same time." Anyway, when Wells
played for Gloucs, he had an equally horrendous runner as the No.10. During a county
match, horror of horrors.......both got injured. *Both* opted for runners when it was
their turn to bat. Bomber played a ball on the off, called for a run, forgot he had a
runner and ran himself. Ditto at the other end. In the melee, someone decided that a
second run was on. Now we had *all four* running. Due to the confusion and constant
shouts of "YES" "NO", eventually, *all* of them ran to the same end. Note - at this point
in time, the entire ground is rolling on the floor laughing their behinds out. One of the
fielders - brave lad - stops laughing for a minute, picks the ball and throws down the
wicket at the other end. Umpire Alec Skelding looks very seriously at the four and
calmly informs them " One of you buggers is out. I don't know which. *You* decide and
inform the bloody scorers!".
