"New Batsman" joke

The batsman was new to the side, and in his first innings he did so badly that the crowd began to slow hand-clap and barrack him. Things got worse. The language got more and more abusive, his play-more inept, and finally he was out. As he dashed for the pavilion, rotten fruit and eggs were thrown at him, but he managed to gain the- safety of the dressing-room, where the captain was waiting for him.

'Blimey!' panted the batsman,' they don't like that umpire, do they?'
