As a sequel to the "counties by initial" draft from earlier this year...
There are 6 states in the Australian Sheffield Shield, and 6 (regular, regional) teams in the West Indies FC competition, giving a total of 12 teams: New South Wales, Queensland, South Austraia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia; Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, Windward Islands.
Each of the 11 players you pick must represent (i.e. have played FC cricket for) a different one of these 12 teams, with no restriction on which one state/region you choose not to represent.
Open to people's opinions as to whether:
a) Non-Australians should be eligible to represent the Australian states (and similarly for the WI, although I'm not aware of any non-West Indians playing domestic cricket there)
b) Players who have played for multiple states/regions should be allowed to represent any of them, or just the one they played for first. I'm inclined to go for "the one they played for first".
(And I guess the usual "no Bradman" rule will apply).
