"When Cricketer Dies" joke

When our Cricketers Die

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, now pretty old guys, 75 and 76 years old, are sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons and talking about cricket, like they do everyday.
Sachin turns to Sourav and says, "Do you think there `s cricket in heaven?"

Ganguly thinks about it for a minute and replies,

"I dunno. But let `s make a deal: if I die first, I `ll come back and tell you if there `s cricket in heaven, and if you die first, you do the same."

They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Sachin passes on.

One day soon afterward, Ganguly is sitting there feeding the pigeons by himself when he hears a voice whisper,

"Sourav... Sourav!"

Ganguly responds, "Sachin! Is that you?" "Yes it is, Sourav," whispers Sachin `s ghost.
Ganguly, still amazed, asks, "So, is there cricket in heaven?" "Well," says Sachin, "I `ve got good news and bad news."

"Gimme the good news first," says Ganguly.
Sachin says, "Well... there is cricket in heaven."

Ganguly says, "That `s great! What news could be bad enough to ruin that?"

Sachin sighs and whispers,
"You are going to open the innings this Friday."
