That probably means we have enough with a three cricketer per person selection - would make it 18 people

Still waiting on Reds and Sussex which would mean we would go to two people per person meaning it would be 20.

Wanted to do the draw on Saturday though so get your lists in regardless.

Professor, I released Yashasvi Jaiswal yesterday. Would you add his name to the Released list. The player I have retained is Saim Ayub.

Is this going to be a 3 player FL. If that is the case, do we still have to release one player.

I presume the Reds are going to join us because I might choose one of their picks if available.

Anyway, I'll pick from everyone else.
I always say that everybody's right.

Still waiting on Andy and GP to send their picks.

Without the Reds we will go with three picks per person.
