I believe there was a meeting of the England side with some dignitary in India, where the latter was very pleased to make the acquaintance of "Mr Iron Bottom"

Tony Grieg once said that he wished he had a name like Nuwan Kulesakara. I had to agree.

I think you're right because Botham's nickname in the dressing room was "Tin Arse" for a while or so.

Pretty sure Cribb's linked a bloke whose name is simply England.

England ct. Parrington b. Fulton - 1; absent hurt in the second dig.

EDIT:
Linked, definitely linked. I legitimately cannot type today :/

I always liked Viv Richards because it made it possible for your favourite batsman and favourite mistress to have the same name.

There was a NZer called Cunis, famously referred to by John Arlott viz 'his bowling, rather like his name, being neither one thing nor another'.

The name of this New Zealand cricketer always makes me chuckle.

Would have helped if I actually read the thread before I posted...
