Bada$$ Names in Cricket History

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is it really a bada$$ name though ? Warrier is a very common name in that part of the world. In fact I am from the same place and have some 7-8 friends having second name "Warrier"

Lol. I just thought that if I replaced the 'a' with an 'o' it would be depressing.

FC debut for Northants on the go.

Bit of a rocks or diamonds player isn't he

Also that ground he's played on called Stoke-on-Trent could make a good location for some steamy NZ cricket fanfic

Add Jeavor Royal.

Spencer Johnson

How could he be anything other than a fast bowler?

I have a theory that Johnson is the most serviceable surname in the world. You can have anything as a given name and it will go with Johnson. Try some fruit. Pineapple Johnson. Strawberry Johnson. table accessories. Placemat Johnson. Teacup Johnson. Office supplies. Paperclip Johnson. Sticky tape Johnson. Wildlife. Magpie Johnson. Caterpillar Johnson. CW posters. Good Areas Johnson. Cowcorner Johnson. PEWS Johnson doesn't work so well though. Contrarian ... Johnson.

Don't know if it's mentioned before, but Nick Winter from the South Australia team sounds like an X-Man.

Sewnarine Chattergoon is fun to say to yourself quietly, especially in Tony Cozier's accent.

Patrick Patterson
Shivnarine Chanderpaul

I always found West Indian names incredibly cool as a kid.

Same. Malcolm Marshall & Gordon Greenidge were other cool names along with Vasbert Drakes and Faoud Bacchus.

 

[jimmy101]

Patrick Patterson & Patterson Thompson!

I can hear the Late Cozier's voice in my head, loud and clear!

Chattergoon is from the same club as me. The same club that produced cricketers such as Narsingh Deonarine, Devendra Bishoo, Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai, Veerasammy Permaul, Sew Shivnarine, Michael Chinsammy, Andrew Gonsalves, Jonathan Foo, Anthony Bramble (he played a few season for us)

Shamar Springer
Keemo Mandela Angus Paul.

Wonder how often c Gayle b Breese (or even the other way around) appeared in WI domestic scorecards?

 

[jimmy101]

Can imagine when Ryan Hinds snuck one through the gate it must have seemed pretty funny on the scorecard...
