BoyBrumby said:Thought I'd resurrect this thread 'cos I just heard Warren Hegg call Andrew Symonds "Ronald" (I think) during the Hants-Lancs game on Sky. Anyone know why he's called that?
What with Symonds's mad hair & seemingly permanent zinc block on his lips I wonder if it's a ref to the MacDonald's clown of the same name.....?
It could just be the fact that Hegg is a total loudmouth
He always called Neil Fairbrother by his middle name - Harvey (his mum named him after, well, Neil Harvey, her favourite cricketer..... Hegg must've just liked his middle name)
And anyone who's seen lancashire in the last 10 years will have heard Heggs numerous screams of 'CMOOOOOOOOON DIGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR' aimed at Peter Martin
Still Reckon Vic Marks' 'Skid' is the best nickname though

I must confess that the imagination of the average English cricket player and/or supporter leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, just stick an '-oh' on the end. Tresc-oh, Vaughan-oh, Gile-oh, although I must congratulate the person who came up with Gough-ee. That took some imagination.
If they shout at the umpire, then it's "You need glasses, Venkataraghavan-oh".
Incidentally, why is Glenn McGrath called 'Pigeon'? Is it because he sh*ts everywhere?

On Under the Grandstand, Gilchrist said that he sometimes gets called 'Churchy' because on the 97 (?) tour of England, he was out with Steve Waugh and Shane Warne, and a boy came up to them, looks at Steve Waugh and goes 'Steve Waugh!' looks at Shane Warne and goes 'Shane Warne!' then looks at Gilchrist and says 'Are you Eric Gilchurch?'

My favourite belonged to a guy that I used to play with.
Anyone old enough to remember cars with steel bumper bars would know that they were shiny metal on the outside but frequently collected dirt on the back.
We had a guy in the team who went prematurely bald.
His nickname was "Bumper" - shiny on top, s**t underneath.
