Your Cricket your cricket or sport nicknames.

I have had many:
From my football days: Lanky Man - Didn't particularly like it, but it was pretty accurate.
Rugby: Victor - After Victor Matfield, 'nuff said.
Indoor Cricket: Beno, basically my name with an 'o' on the end, said in an Aussie accent.
Cricket: Jonty - Class fielder, not the best with the bat but does a job. This came about because I did a flying run out ala Rhodes vs Inzi, and the Coach chanted: "Jonty! Jonty! etc."
and most recently from American Football: T.O. - Terrel Owens, WR for Dallas (I think) and the guys at school who watch AF on telly called me it because I am a WR and I'm the only guy at school who plays.
 
Cricket: Chris (Gayle) cos I bowl off-spin. Andrew Symonds because I'm black and they couldn't think of anyone else. Pkus, I took a diving catch so now the name's official.

Football: Henry, cos apparently I look like Henry, but I don't.
 
Get called Donald because its part of my second name and its linked in with ducks which they all want me to get.
 
Well, since I do not play Cricket 75% of the year, I fill up my time playing Tennis. They call me Rohitter :) (Rohit is my name).
And my backhand is nick named the "Ro-Hit". Its basically a cricket shot through mid off, hit as hard as I can and as flat as I can, and it always nicks the line. :)

Oh and yeah, when I played School soccer people would call me Thiery, or however you spell it, because I apparently look like him as well....

Huh? ;)
 
Uhh, do you have African ancestors or something? Are you English/American? Just wondering;)
 
My nickname is "Sallu" as in Salman Khan or "Model" cos my friends think im changing my hairstyle every now often and dress superbly even while playing matches.

P.S. Mean really quick Fast bolwers need to have long locks.
 
My team tend to call me Kumble or Jumbo because I bowl like Kumble, I'm quick for a Leggie, but when I'm not playing cricket they call me Sanj (short for Sanjay)
 
I'm the youngest player by like 4-5 years and they call me pup, puppy, baby, toddler and if i'm batting well "Tiny Master". The opposition call me "cheeky pup", "baby face" and an indian guy called me "Ludu"
 
Nice:)

Oh and my Rugby nickname is "Tiqiru" (or however you spell that Rugby player), because I look like him.
Tuqiri. Love him. I don't really have any nicknames because I'm not notable enough on the field.
