David Lloyd is known as "Bumble" in the cricketing world due to the perceived similarity between his facial profile and the characters from the children's TV show "The Bumblies". The Bumblies were three friendly alien characters from the planet Bumble that featured in a series created by Michael Bentine in the 1960s. One of the Bumblies, Bumbly Two, was portrayed as being quite fat and jovial. Lloyd's nickname references his resemblance to this character from the show.
