Also having too much time on my hands today, I found that the first class cricketer with the longest surname is not a Sri Lankan, but a Fijian named:
Ilikena Lasarusa Talebulamainavaleniveivakabulaimainakulalakebalau.

According to some Indian street cricketers Sachin is a useless batsman. Why do these people preach about cricket without knowing a thing about it Aah, anyone can comment, i see. Jealousy or lack of practical experience at proper cricket, it's pathetic to hear such comments from some in crowd.
