Mine is 'Dusty'

My surname is Miller, Geoff Miller was known as Dusty and it has stuck to me ever since someone mentioned it.

Robin has many.

'Aslan' - a cheeky dig at his obsession with Lions
'Vending' or 'Vendo' - his family business is a vending machine company
'Mr Tickle' - named in honour of his favourite shot, the tickle down to fine leg

Others at our club include:

'Tubes' or 'Adele' or 'The Honey Monster' - the same person, depending on his weight/hairstyle he looks like Adele, or Soccer AM's Tubes or The Honey Monster

'Boris' -

'Bg Show' - One of our seamers looks just like the wrestler.

There are many others, but these are mostly in jokes.

Please see user name...
The best one in my team is Tubs, not for the name itself but the reason for it. People would assume it is due to a "stocky" build but this is not the case.
The father of the lad's girlfriend walked in on him in the bathroom at the family home late one night to find him perched on the edge of the the bathtub taking a dump in the bath  :o

Safe to say he had had rather a lot to drink that night and will never be allowed to forget the humiliating experience  :D

Brad or Friedel. I look like a smaller version of Brad Friedel.
Got a bit embarrassing when he signed for the claret and blue side of the city but all better now.

after a week of dubai, coming back finding out im injured and then reading all the messages i had missed over the week... its safe to say you all have made my extremely unfortunate day a lot better!!! ahhah thank you all for your hilarious nicknames.

in dubai i got a few new ones:

The beast and leo the lion =  as i can make realistic sounding animal noises....  (slightly embarrassing)
shakira  =  as i thought i was at the shakira type dancing then the performers where i didnt mind showing every one...
Arab = as we went in to the dessert and i got a arab headscarf wrapped around me and all the men in the camp who where trying to get money out of me started calling me sister and Arab lady...

Hope you recover from the injury soon!

I'm known as Hong Kong express, and have been known as that since I started cricket as I am a British born Chinese and used to steam in while bowling. (Used to be like 55 mph haha, although have gained a bit of pace)

Also known as Chuddy, which means underwear in some dialect... :-[
