I dunno about that...but Nixon's one of my nicknames. lol

[magpie in the 80's]

7 -- Nixon McLean???? or Kenny Benjamin???

One of those two has really exotic names, and I can't remember which one

correct with nixon roge

[rogernumber10]

I went and checked Kenny on cricinfo, and he was Kenneth Charlie Griffith, so named for the former fast bowler.

I was thinking Kenny because his younger brother was the scorer in the Antigua Test in 1991 (yes true story) and his middle names were Frank Worrell and another brother was named something John Kennedy. Couldn't remember if Kenny got a politician or a cricketer from his dad, but wrote about the family at the time, and all the other Windies with exotic names.
