Umpire Toy Higgins called the match “bizarre”. “At one point there was a bit of banter and I said ‘can Patel please be quiet’ and they all shut up,” he told reporters

Brilliant, you’d have to have some fun with it

The writer did too.

>One Patel was caught Patel bowled Patel for two runs. Top scorer was Patel with 18. In total 11 of the wickets were caught and bowled by Patels, and two Patels were run out.

When I was young, I was at a bank and I saw that a teller had the last name Patel. I excitedly asked if he was in my classmate's family, since she also had that last name. He laughed kindly and told me "probably not" :)

Play by play announcer had a great day identifying who was who. Patel passes to Patel, Patel loses it but it’s quickly up again by Patel…

I was reading the article like it was some kind of abbot and costello sketch. This is hilarious!

There’s also a credit union known as Patelco which has nothing to do with anyone named “Patel”. In this case the “Patel” is just a shortened version of Pacific Telecom.

There were actually at least two Patels at Hogwarts, sisters Padma and Parvati, but for all we know half of each house might have been a Patel, all from different families, lol.
