Ian Botham dies

He goes up to heaven and St Peter says "well, you adulterous whoremonger, why should I let you in?" Beefy replies "Did you not see that innings at Headingley?" St Peter says "fair play, then, in you go".

Botham spots a strangely familiar structure just through the pearly gates. As he enters, he makes out a sign saying "the REAL Lord's Pavilion". "Now you're talking, Petey boy" he says, and strides off. In the distance, he can just make out a glowing white figure, playing the perfect forward defensive to every ball bowled at him.

"I didn't know Geoff Boycott was dead!", said Beefy

"He isn't" replied St Peter. "That's God. He just likes to *think* he's Geoff Boycott".
