I found it incredibly funny that Rob Quiney's name had, you guessed it, 9 letters

There was an Ali Naqvi from Pakistan too, though its another 8 letter name.

Arun Lal
S Ramesh
S Sriram
Ian Bell
Ed Cowan
Les Ames (wk)
Ben Dunk
B Arun
L Balaji
Tim May
Umar Gul

This is some Australian level cheating right here

Hey.. I am positive their birth certificate says those are the names. Its not my fault they expand the initials for their passports and cricket is so used to players having two names that these guys have to carry their dad's name in front of theirs and watch folks call them by their dad's names.

Even if you cheat with the Lankan names, the initials are enough to ruin you
