Remembered another couple:

Jacques "Kalahria" Kallis
David "Crime" Steele

The former reputedly not much of a scholar, so "Kalahria" as in "not much there"; the latter famously careful with his money so "Crime" because "crime doesn't pay".

Not cricket, but It's epic.

Ryan "Jaguar" Harris

It should be illegal to merely add a 'y' at the end of a name. "Harmy, Cairnsey" ...yawn

Sounds like the standard Sri Lankan cricketer.

My favourite was Afghanistan for Mark Waugh - "The Forgotten War".

NZ names suck. We are the worst for just jamming a -y on the end. Luckily all of the names of our current players would sound too stupid with this addition.

Had to say it out loud to get there.

To take the thread a little further off course, there's a Belgian defender / defensive midfielder for whom a nickname is unnecessary - Mark De Man
