'It's amazing,' he said. 'There I was at Lord's, when suddenly about fifty people crowded round me all waving autograph books!'
'Come off it, Smith.'
'It's true. If you don't believe me ask Brian Lara, he was standing right next to me!'

Funny Story about Don Bradman
Image via WikipediaThis story comes from the 2-part ABC documentry about Don Bradman that was screened recently.
It was a game late in Don's career and he had just come into bat shortly before lunch. He was straight into form square driving 3 consecutive deliveries to the boundary.
The opposition keeper was playing his first first-class match and thought he'd take the p*ss out of Don, so he walked up to the great man and said "I guess that's the only shot you know how to play?" (obviously, the guy was a complete idiot).
Don just smiled and replied, "I'll show you a few more this afternoon if you'd like."
The next delivery was very quick and Don square drove, and it flew like a rocket to the boundary.
Don turned to the keeper and said, "Sorry, but I did say this afternoon."

Cricket Jokes: Bear Bottle
Image by JOE M500 via FlickrA batsman was having a bad time. He played and missed at every ball and was becoming more hot and flustered every minute. As the bowler was walking back; the batsman turned to the wicket-keeper.
'Phew,' he said 'what couldn't I do with a bottle of beer.'
The wicket-keeper thought for a moment. 'Hit it with the bat?'
