ch. 1 uncle ken at the wicket
uncle ken was still without a job then one day he announced that he was going to Lucknow to stay with Aunt Emily she has three children and a school to look after said granny don't stay too long she doesn't mind how long I stay said Uncle ken grumpily and off he went his visit to Lucknow was a memorable one and we only heard about it much later when uncle ken got down at Lucknow station he found himself surrounded by a large crowd everyone waving to him and shouting words of Welcome in Hindi Urdu and English before he could make out what it was all about he was smothered by grassland of Marigolds a young Man Came forward and announce the gomti cricketing association welcomes you to the historical city of Lucknow and promptly led Uncle ken out of the station to a car that was waiting outside for them it was only when the car drove into the sports stadium that Uncle Ken realised that he was expected to play in a Cricket match this is what had happened Bruce hallam the famous English cricketer was touring India and had agreed to play in a charity match at Lucknow but the previous evening in Delhi Mr Hallam had gone to bed with an upset stomach and hadn't been able to get up in time to catch the train a telegram was sent to the organizers of the match in lucknow but like many a telegram it didn't reach its destination the cricket fans of Lucknow had arrived at the station in droves to welcome the great cricketer and by a strange coincidence uncle ken bore a starting resemblance to Bruce Hallam even to the bald patch on the crown of his head hence the muddle and of course uncle ken was always happy to enter into the spirit of a muddle having received from the gomti cricketing association a rousing reception and a magnificent breakfast at the stadium he felt that it would be very unsporting on his part if he refused to play cricket for them if I can hit a tennis ball he musted I ought to be able to hit a cricket ball and luckily there was a blazer and a pair of white flannels in his suitcase the gomti team won the toss and decided to uncle ken was expected to go in at number three bruce hallams normal position he soon found himself walking to the Wicket wondering why on Earth no one had as invited a more comfortable pads the first ball he received was shot - pitched and he was able to deal with it in tennis fashion swatting it to the mid-wicket boundary the crowd cheered the next ball took uncle Ken on the pad he was right in front of his Wicket and should have been given out leg-before but the umpire hesitated to raise his finger after all hundreds of people had paid good money to see Bruce hallam play and it would have been a shame to disappoint get them not out said the umpire the third ball took the edge Uncle Ken's bat and speed through the slips oh a lovely short as smooth as silk exclaimed an elderly gentleman in the pavilion a classic late - cute said another the bar reached the boundary and Uncle ken had four more runs to his name then it was over and the other batsmen had to face the boiling he took a run of the first ball and called for a second rununcle ken thought one run was more than enough why go charging up and down the Wicket like a madman however he couldn't refuse to run and he was half -way down the pitch when the fielders throw hit the wicket Uncle ken was run out by yards there could be no doubt about it this time he returned to the pavilion to the sympathetic applause of the crowd no his fault said the elderly gentleman the other chap shouldn't have called there wasn't a run there still it was worth coming here all the way from Kanpur if only to see that superb late - cute uncle ken enjoyed a hearty Tiffin and then realising that the Gomti team would probably have to be in the field for most of the afternoon more running about he slipped out of the Pavilion left the stadium and took a Tonga to aunt Emily's house in the Cantonmenthe was just in time for a second lunch taken at 1:00 with Aunt Emily's family and it was presumed at the stadium that bruce hallam had left early to catch the train to allahabad where he was expected to play in Another charity match aunt Emily a forcefull women a lioness fed Uncle ken for a week and then put him to work in the small boys dormitory of her school it was serval months before he was able to save up enough money to run away and return to Granny's place but he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had helped the great bruce hallam to add eight runs to his grand total the score book of the gomti cricketing association has recorded this feat for all time B.hallam run out 8 the gomti team lost that match but as uncle ken would readily admit where would we be without losers
