Have to wait until Sunday for the D team :)

I was thinking of doing a knockout after this is finished to get the best team.

there will be some letters we cant make a team from, maybe need to have a select team of all the weird letters

A single X, Y, Z team maybe. Other letters will be doable. That would give 24 teams so eight get a bye in the first round. i might be tough to do.

No Zaheer's as a second name? Might be some other Pakistani names. Y is easy, but an X,Y,Z team would at least allow every name to have a chance to get in the side. X, I'd guess, is a no go. Xavier? Not as a surname.

W will be a good team. Three Ws, Waugh twins, but no 2Ws. Plus the England ODI three Ws.
