Thursday July 19, 08:13 AM Patel, caught Patel, bowled Patel LONDON (Reuters) - Cricket umpire Roy Higgins was stumped when he found all 22 players in his game were called Patel. As wickets started to fall, Patel was caught by Patel off the bowling of Patel, the Mirror newspaper reported on Thursday. Then Patel was run out by Patel and another Patel was out leg before wicket, bowled by Patel. The assembled Patels had turned out for two clubs in northern England, Yorkshire LPS and Amarmilan. "At one point there was a bit of banter and I said 'can Patel please be quiet' -- and they all shut up," said Higgins. Yorkshire LPS secretary Ishy Patel explained: "The Patels come from Gujarat in India and we've settled in Bradford, Leeds and Keighley." http://uk.news.yahoo.com/010719/80/bynx0.html

I guess Gujju's are there everywhere.
