Ian Pointer

That's my office at work, so I'm lucky I've got my own office.

Yeah, imagine what your house looks like.

That's the man cave.

No, just the attic, because my wife won't let me.

Yeah, it's days gone by from when I used to play cricket.

There were three Ians in the cricket team.

So we all had to have silly nicknames to distinguish when the captain went, Ian, go back on the boundary.

And we went, what one?

So Ashley Giles was an English cricketer who was a left-handed spinner, right-handed batsman, as I was.

Wore a floppy sun hat, as I did.

By fluke, I used county equipment, which he did.

And he was rather unfairly described as running like a weedy bin by Henry Bloco when he was in the field.

So the day after that, I was running after ball in the field and someone yelled out, England have a weeded bin and we've got a pedal bin.

And it stuck.

So it was just, people would say, pedal back on the boundary.

You go, okay.

And when it started doing forums and stuff, you put Ian and go, the name's already taken.

I went, I bet no one's called pedal bin.

And it stuck.

So most people know me as pedal.
