Choose a first name and a last name and then make a team out of it. A very fast draft

[mr_mister]

^ponsford, woodfull, brown and Lawry


hope you like openers!

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I'm rather partial to Brown as well in that openers list

 

[Daemon]

Damn, my entire strategy relied on being able to pick a certain first name

You're in a good spot though. You just need to work out the best 11 combination which helps for balancing purposes. Everyone else is going to have to rely on a bit of luck unless someone is actually satisfied with a team of 10 players with the same first name.

Yeah this is true. I'm actually going to have to look up some names now though which is a pain

 

[Victor Ian]

It has just dawned on me how hard this is going to be for me. Would William include Bill, or are we applying purely as the player is generally known as I think you alluded to earlier? And What about clark and clarke which contains the former?

 

[AldoRaine18]

I think it should include all different forms. William/Bill/Billy all are same.

 

[NUFAN]

Better make your choice soon Victor, you've gone over 12 hours already so KingKallis is up too.

 

[Victor Ian]

graham? thanks for the heads up nufan. I didn't see that shearzie had picked

 

[mr_mister]

man nobody read my lengthy OP it seems. william, bill, and billy are all one name


jack and john are one name

jimmy and james

robert and bob


Graham and Graeme

Sean and Shaun


Ill even allowed Jacques and Jack



Basically I'm being lenient here

 

[mr_mister]

just to add on that, I dont think Clark and Clarke should count though. Surnames is a different beast
