Palindromic cricketers

[Fuller Pilch]

With MARKRAM having emerged, can any of you think of any other cricketers with palindromes for names? Madan and Arun LAL are the only ones I can think of, and it is much easier with 3 letters instead of 7.

 

[Gnske]

Is Temba Bavuma a palindrome? Spell his name forth or back and you still get 'overrated hackfraud who hits stumps every 3 matches'.

TALAT plays for islamabad united in PSL.

 

[Daemon]

Hannah Rowe from NZ

 

[Engle]

All of the Bob's - or do short names not count ?

 

[NUFAN]

Viv .. Richards

Apparently Markram has the longest surname out of Test Cricketers. The article I read says he overtook Rangy Nanan

 

[OverratedSanity]

All the Nayans, Nitins and Namans in Indian cricket. Nayan Mongia, Naman Ojha, Nitin Saini etc

 

[Dendarii]

The big question is at what point in Markram's international career will this stop being brought up? It's already featured in the Cricinfo commentary of both tests against Bangladesh, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's brought up again when South Africa play against India and Australia by people who think they're being clever but are unaware that it's already been done.

I'm wondering has there ever been a cricketer with their full name as a palindrome, like Stanley Yelnats

I find it highly unlikely unless you're not counting the space as part of the name.

 

[Furball]

Why the **** would the space count.

 

[Prince EWS]

Why the **** would the space count.

Because it does in Stanley Yelnats. It he hadn't used that as an example it wouldn't have even occurred to me.

 

[Engle]

FAF du Plessis

 

[Lillian Thomson]

There used to be a local club cricketer named Lyndon ROTAVATOR.

Wayne Noon kept wicket for Northants and Notts in the 90s.
