Ok so have been tossing this around in my head for a while.
When I used to work in the glamorous world of the Next stockroom I invented a game where every day we had to make the strongest football eleven we could using players whose surnames all began in the same letter.
I have been thinking about how we could translate that to here so it will go like this. Every Sunday will be a new letter. I will suggest two shoe-ins. Everyone else has the rest of the week to populate the rest of the team.
The rules are it must be a functioning team. This means there must be a Spinner and a wicketkeeper in each team and there should be a realistic balance between bat and ball.
This might die a death and it may be in the wrong section of the forum but here goes......A
