London, Aug 5 - Stand aside Smiths, Browns and Joneses - make way for the Patels on the English village green.

It was a case of Patel c Patel b Patel as the Dewsbury Young Stars, a northern England side, fielded an all-Patel team and their rivals Warwickshire turned out with three Patels of their own in a league match in Dewsbury at the end of July.

But unlike eight years ago, when two all-Patel cricket teams in Bradford - the Leuva Patidar Samaj (LPS) and long time rivals Amarmilan - left scorers and umpires scratching their heads in confusion, this Gujarati foray was greeted with no more than a shrug of the shoulder.

Happily, this time around, the two scorers were named - you guessed it - Patel and Patel.

Yunus Patel, who plays for the Young Stars and is also the club secretary, told the Daily Mirror: 'We should change the name to Patel XI but the Dewsbury Young Stars' name has been going for so long we will keep it.
