Your First Name XI

Lillian Thomson

A Richard XI would have some decent bowling options - Hadlee, Snell, Benaud, Illingworth, even Collinge. And if I'm allowed to stretch to the surname Richards, I might find a spot in the line-up for Viv and Barry.

Struggling to find a half-decent 'keeper, though. Surely we can do better than Richard Blakey?
Jack Richards was a decent keeper if you're still stretching...............

And I believe the OP intended first name elevens. Surnames aren't first names (in these cases).
I'm willing to accept surnames if the first names are ridiculously thin on the ground. Might require identical spelling in those cases, though.

Seriously struggling for batsmen here. Started alright with Bell-Drummond, Vettori, Christian and Wayne Daniel in, but rapidly went down-hill. Any I've missed?
