Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, now pretty old guys, 75 and 80
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're going to be the opening
batsmen for friday's match."
