Favourite Ashes Memory

[Richard]

That was why Michael "Mick" Vaughan and Kevin "KP" Pietersen were such a breath of wonderful fresh-air.

Nicknames tend to be woefully obvious TBH, almost regardless of country. Fortunately I don't really have one at my club, one of the relatively few who's just known purely by name. Makes a change when I'm bowling with just "bowled Rich!"

not even dick.

 

[Richard]

I'm universally known as "Dickie(\Dicky)" in college circles, but have always been Rich everywhere else.

"Dick" is a name not in vogue at all at the current time, more used for people who were born ~1930.

Appreciate it's exciting for you, but that's too much info, surely?

How's Ravi nickname? And Freddy is indeed original

 

[BoyBrumby]

How's Ravi nickname?

Real name is Ravinder, tbh.

 

[James_W]

Can't believe you left out Oniony and Priory.

 

[Richard]

Prior's generally called "Matty" on the field TBH.

 

[Burgey]

Not cricket-related, but one of the great nicknames was Phil Sigsworth who played rugby league in the 80s:

"Howmuchisapacketa" was the name given him.

Oh but that's just like saying Rob for Robert, or Bill for William.

 

[Son Of Coco]

It's called 'Favourite Ashes Memory' mate, not '******** Ashes Delusions'.

Pots and kettles my friend...pots and kettles

We've started well by winning the toss and batting first, and now we're 1/100-odd. I'd say my favourite moment is well on the way to being locked in!

Me? I'm the epitome of pragmatism IMO

I heard Priory call Swann 'Swanndog' in one of the tests. Thought that was pretty funny. Yo yo Matt.

That's pretty good.
