Those Bomber things

The pitch was taking turn, so the skipper rubbed the new ball on the ground and asked Bomber Wells to take the first over from that end.
Then the skipper crouched down at short leg, looked at the batsman, and the batsman didn't seem to settle.
So he said, "Are you not ready?"
"I'm ready all right. It's your bowler who is not ready.", he replied.
The skipper turned round, and there was Bomber, walking right back to the boundary.
"What are you doing, Bomber?"
"I've got the new ball, haven't I? I have got to run in."
This went on for an over and half.
