The batting order isn't a problem for the Dewsbury Young Stars.

The openers are Patel and Patel, followed by Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel and Patel. And the names of both their scorers? You've guessed it - Patel.

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

"A lot of our team originate from India but none of the players are related and it's just a coincidence." The team, aged from 18 to mid-30s, play in West Yorkshire's Dewsbury District League Section B, and turned out an all-Patel side for the first time against Warwick last week.

Incredibly, Warwick also had three Patels in their team that day - which made the scorers' lives even easier - but the Young Stars held out for a thrilling one-wicket win.
