And you thought only our Sreesanth has been having problems in asking people to get his name correct? Still dazed by the tongue-twisting never ending names? Thankfully, the Sri Lankan cricketers don’t believe in Feng Shui and dabble with spellings like most of our Indian cricketers and film stars. However, there’s one little thing to wonder. How do the Sri Lankan cricketers get their full names on the passports?

Regardless of it all, this team has played some beautiful cricket and set up the competition nicely for the second stage of this tri-series. So like the Aussies here say, “what’s in a name anyways maiite?”
