Everyone explain why they chose their username :) Sloandog is pretty simple to be honest. Where i used to play cricket one of the lads called me sloandog once and it stuck. It went from sloaney, to sloandog, to sloandog millionaire which was an awful shout haha!


Next :D
Sloandog Millionaire :D

Zimfanatic is overstating it, but I have always followed Zim Cricket since independence.

69, well, do I need to explain that if I say it is not the year of my birth :D

My other online project, started long before ZCN/ZCF, has to do with anime (Japanese animation). 'maehara' is the surname from a favourite character back when I first got into it, and has kinda stuck with me since then.

Back in primary school, I attempted a crossword puzzle in The Sunday Mail and one of the clues was "cricket delivery." Even though I had a decent knowledge of cricket, the answer couldn't ring in my mind.
When my father bought the following week's paper, I then figured that the solution was YORKER and I've since fallen in love with the delivery in real life cricket....
