Last orders to win Ashes book

A reminder of our competition to win a copy of Nigel Henderson's new book, If It Was Raining Palaces, I'd Get Hit By The Dunny Door, which details his gloom as an England supporter during last winter's Ashes tour. I asked for new acronyms for England players, following on from Kevin Pietersen being dubbed Figjam ("F*** I'm Good, Just Ask Me).

Best entries so far are "Spanish" for Flintoff (Sinks P*** All Night In Southern Hemisphere) from one Panayoti Maginopolis and "Egbert" for Pietersen (Egomaniac Girlishly Becomes Emigrating Reviled Traitor) from this blog's old friend Andre Nel. But I'm sure the rest of you can do much better. You have until the end of the day. It's free, and could make a lovely Christmas present...
