Don Bradman is a pretty cool name.

Napoleon Einstein has to be my favourite. Washington Sundar is pretty good too.

It seemed like the selection criteria for early 2000's Tasmania was more based on the amount of syllables in your surname than actual cricketing ability.

I've always thought some of the Pakistani names are pretty cool. Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar, Fazal, anything ending with Khan.

Lankans got the least cool names I'm afraid. Indians not too great either. English used to have cooler names but these days they're pretty lame. Mark Wood, Anderson, Cook, Root wtf boring bro.

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

Yeah. Windies know how to make great names. In Australia Richards would have ended up being something silly like Steve.

 

[trundler]

Viv Richards. Viv. It's almost like the name plays a part in his super badass aura.

Shared a christian name with Brian Close's wife - when he first pitched up at Somerset the introduction was "Viv lass, meet Viv lad"

Oh wow, that's hilarious. The inverse must be true then. Richards was so badass that even his name started sounding cool.
