It's perhaps fitting that the sport's greatest exponent gives his name to an adjective that's used to describe feats of scarcely credible dominance over one's peers and/or opposition.
Sir Donald Bradman : "Bradmanesque". Other eponymously named terms seem all peculiar to cricket, but from the top of my head there's "Chinaman" (Puss Achong), "Bosie" (Bernard Bosenquet) &, most recently, the "Dilscoop" (Tilikaratne Dilshan).
