Draft idea: Counties by initial

[AndrewB]

I thought the rule was that he had to represent the county that he has played the most FC matches at. So Laker's a Surrey player.

Yes, that is the rule - I didn't spot that Zinzan had picked him as an Essex player.

Fair call, in that case i might change, as i had other 'S' players in mind. Gimme a few minutes, need to pop out quickly.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'll pick tonight when I get my laptop back, can't search right now

 

[Zinzan]

Ah screw it, I'll still take Laker, so Surrey it will have to be. Too good to give up.

Allan Donald (Warwickshire)

In July 2000, Kent's away match against Hampshire at Portsmouth was billed as a showdown between two great cricketers- Warne and Dravid. Dravid came out on top. On a dustbowl, tailor made to suit home team spinners, Warne took 4 wickets but could not take the all important wicket of Dravid. Coming in to bat at 15/2, Dravid faced 295 balls scoring 137 runs - his maiden hundred in county championships. Dravid scored 73 not out in the 2nd innings guiding Kent to a six wicket victory as Warne went wicketless

Rahul Dravid-Kent

 

[BoyBrumby]

Is it my pick, or was that rcf's 4th round selection?

 

[Zinzan]

Can someone not playing step in for Watson prior to his ban expiring in 3 days?

If not I'm happy to pick for him in the meantime.

 

[randycricfreak]

Seems Watson missed his 12 hrs

Denis Compton - Middlesex

Alistair Cook - Essex

 

[Zinzan]

This is trickier than I thought, so many players I wanted who are already in sides I've used.

Waqar Younis (Glamorgan) thanks

Btw what site are people using to decide who a player playing for more than 2 counties played the most times for?
