I completely believe Test_Fan_Only could have produced a high quality team with all players available. Dunno what ankitj was smoking. You could nearly make an amazing one just using the alliteration names, and that would leave you with tons of letters left to fill the 2-3 final spots.

 

[ankitj]

I needn't have taken Kallis that early. Lost chance to pick Greenidge. It occurred a little late to me how important alliterative names were.

I completely believe Test_Fan_Only could have produced a high quality team with all players available. Dunno what ankitj was smoking. You could nearly make an amazing one just using the alliteration names, and that would leave you with tons of letters left to fill the 2-3 final spots.

I think a strong team could be produced without the use of alliteration, but it would take quite a while for me to work one out even though I do have an idea of how to do such a team.

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

I have made a team with no alliteration, using 22 letters, quite strong, better might be done. It took a long while, kept getting 10 very strong players but not an eleventh.

Mr Prez has timed out so I'll take Chris Cairns
