Draft idea: Counties by initial

[fredfertang]

for this draft it counts as an 'L' right?

Yes, but I was under the impression that the rules were that, for example, I couldn't pick Mushtaq Mohammad having picked Maco, but could I pick Majid Khan, or Sadiq Mohammad?

OK - now we're passed Round 1 all future picks (including double picks) have the usual 12 hour time limit.

And the intention was that it's only the county's initial that matters, not the players. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[BoyBrumby]

Kinda depressing in a draft focussing on the English domestic comp there's only been 4 sons of Albion selected out of 21 possibles so far, just one of whom debuted post WW2 and all of whom qualify for Heaven's first XI.
