What are the best nicknames you've heard for cricketers?
My votes go to Michael Holding (Whispering death) and Bruce Taylor (Haystax - because he was so lucky that his teammates figured that if he fell out of a plane he'd land in a haystack.)
Yeah, White lightning is a good one. Piggy's not bad either.
Tendulkar really needs to get his own nickname. Master Blaster is Viv Richards. The Little Master is Sunny Gavaskar.
