And I am totally pleased for them, and it\u2019s awesome and all of that, but they have chosen to hyphenate the surname and their new jerseys now read \"N SCIVER-BRUNT\" and \"K SCIVER-BRUNT\" across the back and it just seems less than optimal somehow.\r\n<p>I feel extremely grouchy complaining about this in any way, because as I say, it\u2019s a lovely thing and they seem very happy indeed.\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/englandcricket\/status\/1620008087129047042\/photo\/1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/01\/sciver-brunt-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph of Nat and Katherine Sciver-Brunt, from behind, showing their jerseys with their hyphenated last name.
