Wesley or Wessly

Post by eugene »

Do we have a definitive answer on how Madhevere spells his first name? How can there be multiple spellings? The broadcast today spelled his name as Wesley but Cricinfo insists it is Wessly.

Yeah it’s confusing. I’m trying to find the Tweet from a year or two back but I think ZC replied to someone clarifying his official spelling is Wessly.

Maybe he is embarrassed by his parents poor spelling and prefers Wesley though :lol:

Yeah often misspelling on birth certificates. I know a lawyer called Primerose- clearly meant to have been Primrose.

This is something that has been on my mind for ages, I thought it was just my mind playing tricks :lol:

Glad to know his official name finally!

Reminds me when Taylor came through .... constant switching between Brendan/Brendon ... but that was just dodgy journalism
