Tatenda Taibu - Tibbly

Hamilton Masakadza - ?????

Stuart Matsikenyeri - Matsi?????

Elton Chigumbura - Boom Boom

Prosper is "Dots", as that what he mainly bowls. He's also been referred to as "The Professor", I think...

I think it's quite funny, but I'm not sure how he would react to it if he heard it 😂

Taylor should call himself "captain caveman" because he really needs a haircut..

Dr. Situ came up with one for Price after his 10-5-7-0 today... Priceless

Taibu is also called "Taibs", but I'm thinking seeing Chigumbura is Boom Boom, maybe Taibu should have an alternative name due to his running between the wickets "Zoom Zoom"

Gotta come up with something for Masakadza and Chibhabha now...

Masakadza's nickname according to team mates is Hammy
