choosing names
choosing namesIdeas please - I want to call my two new girls after retired cricketers, bowlers for preference. They were going to be Tuffers and Corky but one of them is really awkward and a bit bolshie. I can't think of any fast bowlers who were like that off the field, although many of them were demons during the hours of play.
Anyone out there got a suggestion for me? Closest I've come so far is Ishant. Bea; 19 hens (most of whom I intended to get); 6 bantams (which I never intended to have); old Benji dog and young Toby dog (who I definitely wanted). Three years into country living and loving it.
Re: choosing namesI'm not sure about cricketers names Bea, the only one I can think off the top of my head is Freddie Flintoff and I don't think he's bolshie?

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: choosing namesHow about Lillee

Re: choosing namesNot a cricketer as such, but a commentator, Dickie Bird

Re: choosing namesHi bmp
If she is a bit bolshie then surely it has to be 'Aggers' from TMS Not that he is bolshie, quite the opposite, but he's a retired bowler and the name sounds bolshie. Cheers Mike
Re: choosing namesNot up on cricketers, but my next 3 will be Bosh, Pecks and Boots
Lorna I`m not a teacher for nothing, you know!! If I was clever, I`d be dangerous.
Re: choosing namesCorrect me if I'm wrong, cricket fans, but didn't the great man once introduce the players on the pitch thusly.....(before collapsing in a fit of giggles)......
The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey. I think they would be hilarious names
Re: choosing names
Indeed yes, one of the famous funnies of commentary! Life's too short to quarrel
Re: choosing namesThere is also the famous Aggers moment, with Brian Johnston of sacred memory, Botham has failed to get his leg over.
I think Aggers is the winner. I was going for fiery fast bowlers, but after 4 days the "hen with no name" has calmed down a lot and is really calm and funny most of the time with occasional touches of vitriol. Aggers it is. Thanks all. Bea; 19 hens (most of whom I intended to get); 6 bantams (which I never intended to have); old Benji dog and young Toby dog (who I definitely wanted).

Re: choosing namesI am a very proud winner, bmp, and having been listening to him all day at the first of many victories over the Aussies in the coming months I shall expect a hazelnut and chocolate cake in the post.....
Our first hens all had names beginning with 'A' (don't ask me) (Bumble is a pseudonym to protect her identity; privacy laws and all that) and I am informed that the next 3 will begin with 'B' I have just reserved 'Blowers' which will be a fabulous name for a big White Sussex Chilly and windy in Hertfordshire tonight. Bumble a bit better again but 2 eggs from five - their worst ever performance. Don't mind though as they are cutting the grass as I look out of my window. Cheers all Mike
Re: choosing namesChookmike - Blowers is a great name for a Sussex. I won't be getting any more hens until a couple of my original old ladies go to their rest. Technically I have enough room but I like them to have loads of space.
I've had the radio on all day, or taken the sports radio out with me when dog walking. Nannes has a nice easy-listening voice.
