Pavilion Jokes

Brown and Robinson were two old men who were fierce rivals at cricket. One day, they decided to see who was the better player by having a game between them selves. Brown laboured for an hour to score twelve runs, but was bowled by the only straight ball he received. Both men were exhausted, and Robinson decided that he was too tired to bat and made for the pavilion, even though Brown had only to bowl at the empty wicket and break it to win.

As he lay slumped in the pavilion, an amused on looker strolled in and said,' Congratulations.'

'What do you mean?' said Robinson.

'Haven't you heard?' said the spectator.' Brown bowled thirteen wides!'
