Idea of the game is simple. Create the longest word you can consisting of cricket players' surnames.
Rules:
1. You can select any player who has played international cricket for his country in either Tests, ODI's or T20.
2. There must be atleast 2 letters common b/w one player's surname and the next players surname.
3. The common letters have to be caps-locked and on a new line to indicate two separate players names.
4. No player's surname can be repeated in the one snake, (E.g can't have Steve & Mark Waugh or AB de Villers & Fanie de Villers in the same snake)
5. Number of names is limited to 15 surnames otherwise this can go on infinitely.
6. Start with any player you want
For players of all countries except certain subcontinental players, please use surnames only.
E.g. Michael Hussey, Alastair Cook , Sachin Tendulkar
For some subcontinental players use their name on back of shirt:
E.g. Inzamaam Ul- Haq, Salman Butt, Aravinda de Silva, Harbhajhan Singh
Scoring system:
2 letters joined: 1 pt
3 letters joined: 3 pts
4 letters joined: 9 pts
After 4 letters, as the number of letters joined increase, the No of Pts increase by a factor if 3 i.e 5 - 27 pts, 6 - 81 etc..
So with only a maximum of 15 consecutive surnames allowed, try to maximise the points scored.
Sample Snake:
............................................................................... No of Common Letters...........Score
GilchriST.............................(Adam)............................. 2.........................................1
.........STackpoLE.................(Keith)..............................2..........................................1
......................LEWIS...........(Mick
)...................3..........................................3
..........................WISHART...(Craig).............................4..........................................9
................................HARTlAND...(Blair).......................3..........................................3
.........................................ANDerson......(James)....................................................=17
I still had 9 more names I could have used, but this is just a sample to show how it works.
Go on, see if you can beat 17
