Mad Brad - Brad Williams
NLWL - Justin Langer (stands for either Nuggety Little Wozzie Legend or Narrowly Limited Wozzie Legume depending on how he batted in his last match),
and a few I am hoping will catch on:
Chainsaw Charlie - Brett Lee (after his routine after taking a wicket, not often seen these days)
Giggles - Andy Caddick
Jimmy Meagre - Jimmy Maher (common mispronunciation of name 'Meagher' as in Hawthorn footballer Des or actor Ray)
Stewie the Ass - Stuart Law (Dickens I think, 'the law is an ass...')
Simon T. Awful - Australian IP umpire Simon Taufel
The Great Warthog - Kerry Packer (thanks Bob Ellis)
Louie the Fly - Well known Australian cricket fan and occasional guest commentator John W. Howard
