Bowled out True story : Man arrived at the local railway station which was deserted except for the Station Master and the Porter playing cricket on the platform. The Station Master was batting and belting the ball all over the place. Try as he might the Porter could'nt get him out. After watching for a while he went over to the Porter and asked if he could have a go. With his first ball he bowled the Station Master out. The Porter grasped him by the hand with tears of gratitude in his eyes. "Eee lad, I'm reet glad tha did that, he's been in fower years".
