I will 'draw' them this weekend sometime, possibly on webcam with Laura viewing as proof it's all legal. During the WC, I'll post daily updates and crap on here.

Today's the day and Laura's not on so you'll have to take my word for it.
Got 32 bit of paper here in 2 piles, one pile has the 16 World Cup countries written on them and the other pile has the names of the 8 people but every name twice as everyone will get 2 countries each. Only rule I'm making is no one will have 2 teams in the same group. Your 2 teams may clash later in the tournament but it won't happen in the first round. So if your 2nd name comes out and you've already got a team that is in that same group, then name will be put back in pile.
Gonna do this now and just post it here as I 'draw' them. Will pull a country from the country pile first and then an FJ member name.

Rules: Runs the teams you have will be given as $$$ here but a different rule if the team batting 2nd wins. Unfair if a team is only chasing a small total that that person only be given the same(plus 1 run) as the team that batted first and did crap. If team batting 2nd wins, then you get the runs they scored by winning chasing plus $10 for every wicket they had left in hand. eg: Team batting 2nd wins chasing and scores 150/1, that would be the same as them scoring 240.

Kelly, Emma and Hyp did the best getting 2 good teams each. Laura, Proton and I got 2 duds each. John and Salim 1 good and 1 dud each. I'll double the $$$ per runs when it gets to quarter finals and beyond.
