Cricket Screwboards
Some say cricket is a funny game, others say it’s a
boring game…well I wouldn't exactly call it boring excluding the IPL, Champions
league, movie stars, media, cheer leaders, ghosts, occasional test series in SriLanka and West Indies and few others things which I wouldn't disclose on the
basis of section 66(A) of the IT Act.
The last one week I've been at home, I've witnessed a
wonderful display of cricketing skills at the WACA test, but for that, it’s
been pretty boring. So I started looking up list of cricketers from each
country WIKI is Awesome…and so is Sachin…getting back to reality, I started
looking up a list of cricketers from each country and found some really funny
last names.
Below are some hypothetical scoreboards, domestic and
time insensitive, meaning a player from 1897 could be featured with a player
from 1997, that’s who you call a centurion…have fun!
