Pebble cricket: name shortener
I had no choice. Had to make a skanky name shortener for players in minor teams that don’t have a short name in the Cricinfo database.
var shorten = function (n) {
var bits = n.split(' ');
for (var i = 0; i < bits.length-1; i++)
bits[i] = bits[i].substr(0,1);
return bits.join('.');
};
