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!
