Longest name in cricket

[SirBloody Idiot]

Have seen this posted on the forums before, but can not find it anyway.

Can anyone tell me the name of that fellow with a huge amount of names, even more than Chaminda Vaas!

Any help would be appreciated.

Amunugama Rajapakse Rajakaruna Abeykoon Panditha Wasalamudiyanse Ralahamilage Ranjith Krishantha Bandara Amunugama.

He still doesnt have a wicket for each alphabet in his name.

PS Let me tell you it has 104 to save you the trouble of counting

Isn't it to do with where he is from (ie village, town, region etc.), and other family names (of his father, grand father etc.)?

JASON will know!

Imagine Blowers trying to say that... I think he would probably die.

the literal translation is "returned alive from Nankula hospital at Lakemba island in the Lau group".
