Grandpa, what was an offspinner ? - ketchim - 10-14-2014
Granpa: What did you say?
Grandson: An offspinner, Granddad. What was it?
Granpa: Ah yes. I thought that's what you said. Who taught you that word?
Grandson: One of my friends mentioned it in history class, but our teacher said we weren't old enough to know the truth about such things.
Granpa: Did he now? Hmmm, well you will have to find out sometime. An offspinner was a bowler
from many years ago who turned the ball in to right-handed batsmen.
The small boy gasps :-[

Granddad: No problem at all. Now go and practice your forward defensive.
Grandson: My what?
Granddad: Oh, never mind.
