The story of KW

The tension was rising at Lord's cricket ground. The opposition was getting the upper free hand and thinking of the power and the glory of winning the match. The crowd was jeering and Keithe W the batsman at the one end was thinking "Man, this is going to be hard work to survive here. He looked at the scoreboard and saw 48 not out to his name - "Can I just make to 49 and then fifty - a half century" - Keith looked up to the heavens in thought and heard the declicate sound of thunder in the distance. "On no it musn't rain"
The over was over and his partner Rick came up and said "Right are you ready? Going for the one?" " Will do, peeps" replied Keith and went back to his mark.
The opposition had changed the bowling and now the opening deamon Jo was on agian. He stood there polishing the ball glaring at Keith "You're gonna need your national health card when I'm finished with you - you'll be not of this world" he smeared through his teeth, brushing his long hair away. He went bak to his mark and turned and started the charge.

Keith took his mark and looked at the frothing mass charging towards him. "on No" he thought "my one size fits all protective box is slipping - what do I do?"

"Nothing" siad his inner voice "never let go of the bat - Just hit him - he ain't no member of the polite force, just one of the rotters club"
Jo thundered in, delivered a shot ball that whoosed right by where Spock's beard would have been and lande in the keeper's gloves. "Great'un Jo, give him another" the fielders shouted. Keith looked at the long haired umpire, who was unmoved. "He's thinking about his Guinness again. He'll count a seven ball over too. Must hit this one"
Jo came charging in again and bowled a blistering ball that struck Keith on the toe defying the art of levitation. The bowler jumped in the air turning to the umpire screaming "Ooooowaaaaaathatttttttt" "To be frank, not out" The ball meanwhile had disappeared behind square and Rick shouted "Yes" - Keith spurted down the pitch and made it to the other end. The umpire did nothing - A curious feeling went through Keith as he looked to the open sky and thought "Wow this is big time - I'm 49 not out - Now for the half century"

Suddenly things went black. He heard Pam shouting "Wake up keith You.re beyond dreams now. Suppers ready".........
