Great nicknames in Cricket

Rod Marsh nickname was Bacchus. The story behind the nickname was that it was after the town 50km Northwest of Melbourne called Bacchus Marsh. Travelling on a train with his Western Australian teammates from Adelaide to Melbourne, the train stopped at Bacchus Marsh and Ian Brayshaw promptly stated Rod, you'll now be known as Bacchus.

Nicknames for whatever reason are what we do with people’s name. Some are funny, some are subtle others are cheekily rude. Many are obvious and some are best left to the imagination.

We’ve cast the net across the cricket community for great nicknames and the stories behind them. We will continue to add new nicknames and their stories, let’s see what we caught so far.
