Sachin and Sourav 75*

Ganguly And Sachin

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 every day.

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 and me, we are going to open the innings on
Friday."
