It was called "George ball" in my high school, as it was mostly played by the Greek lads, and about half of them were named George.
Amusing anecdote:
About ten years back, I met a woman from Melbourne, of Greek ancestry. She had eleven cousins, all male, in three sets of brothers: four, four and three.
Based ONLY on that information, and applying my knowledge of all the Greek Australians I had previously met, I guessed the names of the eleven blokes:
George
George
George
John
John
Con
Con
Peter
Chris
Nick
and (had to think for a minute...)
Demetrios who likes to be called Jim.
11 / 11 with a bonus for the nickname!
