I thought it was inappropriate to keep "Griz, Grouty (disputed)" as nicknames in the infobox, so have removed them for now. It didn't say disputed by whom, or where, but neither are they mentioned in the article. As "The Voice" is, I've added that one for the time being until some refs can be found for the other two.—MDCollins 14:54, 13 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
readded - mentioned in Wally_Grout#Test_cricket section. The other one was disputed as he didn't like it. The refs are from the grout book, I can duplicate easily. Cheers, Casliber (talk·contribs) 19:10, 13 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
