Canterbury Tactix
Mumbai Indians (With such Indian Superstars as Shaun Pollack 
)
)Kolkata Knight Riders

I kinda liked the Mumbai Indians...bit of a laugh on teams like the Cleveland Indians...but yeh most provincial teams getting forced to jazz up their names when Canterbury, Otago, Auckland etc... really say it all...

Melbourne Victory is kind of silly when they lose or draw. Perth Glory sounds wanky & effeminate.
I agree LG about NZ national teams called Black _ _ _ _ _. What's wrong with "NEW ZEALAND". In regards to cricket, I can't stand it when former NZ internationals being called "former Black Caps" when they retired prior to the adoption of the stupid name.

What is that 'Black Caps/Sticks/Ferns nicknames thing all about? Apart from NZ and Aussie, no-one else does it. Stupid 
p.s. Olyroos is a pretty stupid name, and the Matildas aint much better

Isn't that the name that Feverish, HN, etc use when they're not on YF business and go out undercover.
