Fav memory has to be when Hughes got dropped... in the 09 ashes. Classic.

GIMH · 30-07-2009, 02:21 AM

I had a feeling that's what you would be saying

Son Of Coco · 30-07-2009, 02:24 AM

When Australia racked up 438 at Edgbaston in 2009 before bowling England out for 78 and 145.

GIMH · 30-07-2009, 02:39 AM

It's called 'Favourite Ashes Memory' mate, not 'Retarded Ashes Delusions'.

Richard · 30-07-2009, 04:47 AM

When the opening day of an Edgbaston Test was washed-out for the first time ever.

* Kerry O'Keefe's commentary, think it was in Adelaide in 2007.. Wondering why England players were all given nicknames with a "Y" after their names, and what would happen if the Aussies had nicknames like that. Pontingy Lehmanny, sent Agnew into hysterics like during Botham's leg over incident.. Was very funny at 4 in the morning..

I hate affixing this O to the end of Aussie players though, Watto, Marto, Haydo(s),

Aussie cricketers fail badly at nicknames.

Marsh = Swampy
Boon = Boonie
Allan Border = AB
Taylor = Tails (or Tubby)
Gillespie = Dizzy
Martyn = Marto
Slater = Slats
Every single one of the Sincocks who've played for Aus state sides = evil dick

better than
Straussy, Cooky, Ravi, Belly, Colly, Broady, Freddie, Swanny, Jimmy,

2 players in the XI who's nicknames don't end in i, ie or y

That was why Michael "Mick" Vaughan and Kevin "KP" Pietersen were such a breath of wonderful fresh-air.

Nicknames tend to be woefully obvious TBH, almost regardless of country. Fortunately I don't really have one at my club, one of the relatively few who's just known purely by name. Makes a change when I'm bowling with just "bowled Rich!"

not even dick.

Richard · 30-07-2009, 09:22 AM

I'm universally known as "Dickie(\Dicky)" in college circles, but have always been Rich everywhere else.

"Dick" is a name not in vogue at all at the current time, more used for people who were born ~1930.

Could be coming up if Watto sticks around.

Appreciate it's exciting for you, but that's too much info, surely?
