How ironic is that? Spelling a person's name wrong in a spelling correction thread.

Its those dam Asian names that get me i can spell Trescothick, Dalrymple and Strauss.
Come to Murali(theran?) or Sachin (Tendulkar?) them are the two main ones which i mis-spell or have to look up, thats why i just call Tendulkar - Sachin incase anyone is offended by me mis-spelling the little masters name

Laxman Shivaramakrishnan? I have no idea howto spell that. And what's VVS Laxman's full unabbreviated name again?

From memory, it is something like Vangipurapu Venkat Sai Laxman. And you almost got Laxman Sivaramakrishnan right, in fact Shiva/Siva is pretty interchangeable so I'm not sure what LS goes by.evertonfan said:
Well you'd be wrong, it's Vaas.aussie1st said:Lol I'll go by Vass there, I'm not even touching his first name
For some reason Monty has a better ring than Panesar for me.

To be fair, I have heard many Indian commentators pronouncing it Shewag, so that's probably where people come up with that.
Isn't that rather how the 'S' is pronounced? Like how many a German pronounces 'S' with a 'h' just after it.
Or am I nattering on nothing?
Also Michael Vaughan not Vaughn, Varne, or any other way you can think.
