Do you have a nickname?
Australians love to shorten names or add a ‘Y’ to the ending. Anthony Koutafides is ‘Kouta’, Alex Jesalenko is ‘Jezza’. Neil Balme is “Balmey’.
Shane Warney is ‘Warney. Ricky Ponting is ‘Punter’. Michael Hussey is ‘Mr Cricket’.
What’s your nickname? Tell us how you got it. Or, tell us about someone you know if you don’t have one.
There are prizes to be won.
Mike Hussey aka Mr Cricket.
