[edit] Sarfaraz v Sarfraz

There have been some edits here changing Sarfraz to Sarfaraz and vice versa. It does appear that Sarfraz is far more common. In google "Sarfraz Nawaz" cricket gets 21K hits while Sarfaraz gets 1290. In the Pakistani media, Dawn has 6 Sarfaraz and 75 Sarfraz while Jang has 14 Sarfaraz and 128 Sarfraz. I don't see why we should use Sarfaraz in this article, except provide a redirect from a page of that name. Tintin (talk) 08:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Strongly agree. I as a Pakistani, personally know that Sarfraz is extremely common. In Pakistan, minor variations in English transliterations of Urdu names are often ignored. Most prominent cricket web sites use Sarfraz instead of Sarfaraz. Szhaider 18:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I cant believe the bloke who invented reverse swing, good or bad as it is, has such a small entry.
