Longest Cricketing Chain Name

So I got thinking one time, what is the longest cricketing chain name that you can come up with? If you're confused, you'll see what I mean. I'm thinking that the most likely length would be from Islamic names, or maybe West Indian because they use surnames as first names more than Anglos.

This is the best I got, pretty good, probably. Can you beat it?

Six players. Can you add to it? I'm just a bit braindead ATM, couldn't think of an Ahmed first name etc.

They can obviously be from different countries, just got to fit together.

What's going on.  This place has gone all Freaky Friday with Dan playing the Lindsay Lohan role and Petey has gone all Jamie Lee Curtis

You know, I'd almost feel a little ashamed.... if you hadn't used a Freaky Friday reference. Get back in your box, Allan D.

Meh the characters seemed to fit

I really wouldn't know.

As long as you don't call me Jamie Beef Curtains, I remain nonchalante about the whole thing.

Wow, this really blew up. Had an inkling it would.

Sounds like it would take some effort.

I'm out.

Such people need no support or cooperation from others. They are chain namers like others are chain smokers.

Ahh, reduced to the level of ridicule. That's as good as it gets, I suppose.

In fairness, Monkey, it was a good thread.

Except it was sh*t.

I know. I've been there.

Not very often, but I have been there.

Well I was genuinely intrigued as to whether it could be beaten - at least JGK added to it. So the work is done. And I'll remember to just PM JGK if I want any answer to anything. 

I can console myself that at least it wasn't some quasi-philosophical meme diatribe.

Yer wha'?

You mistake good humour for derision, old fruit.

You will be calling a bonobo wank (*) an aggressive act next.


(*) a favourite pastime of bonobos as opposed to chimps, I am told.


And I did produce you a "genuine" 11-link chain (see above - @ 3.20 this morning :-O )

Soz - I thought Benjamin Frank was some sort of gimpo hornswaggle - well done, m'lady - hands down wreck up.

You win a scented panda hammer.

Benjamin Frank could be a Victorian Tory sausage-lover, or a constructed Caribbean seam-bowling monster, it's true.

But he does exist.

As Galileo said: But it does move. (Or "Eppur si muove", to be exact.)

Is that hammer better than a pan handle?

Ask Cricinfo. They lapped it up.
