I did the same

need a better name for them than Red Junior2

Smaller versions of Red Devils..... Red Imps?

I think that works quite well

or Red Sprites?

As well as being a supernatural creature in folklore like imps, a red sprite is also a term for a particular form of lightning

Put it to them Red and let me know

Red bulls is not on the table

no room for advertising in my leagues

What about Red cabbages?

They are top of the Premier League fantasy table as well!

excellent debut performance from the twins

No idea why the best white ball batsman in the world wasn't considered good enough to make the cut for Rajasthan, but that's why I didn't pick him. There are certain overseas players who are simply considered undroppable regardless of their performance and that means the others have to be rotated.

still in quarantine apparently

not sure why Smith, Curran, Curran, Archer, Bairstow, Warner, Stoinis were able to play and Sam played days ago too. Jos must have fancied a trip home or something before flying out

Yup.... partly at least. He brought his family with him and they have to quarantine together
