Here is your chance to pick what you believe to be the best Twelve Black players, based in Luton to make up a team. Your team can include past and present cricketers, from the Sixties to those still playing. They can be players that you have played with or have watched playing. You can not include yourself.

Choose carefully, it's not as easy as you think.

You should pick a well balanced team, not just a bunch of names. For example you will need a captain, wicket keeper, maybe a spinner etc. You get the drift?

Enter your team in the box below them press submit. All entries will be published for you to compare.

Don't forget to put your name at the bottom so I know who the team is from.

A lot you seems to be finding it difficult to pick a team and I am not surprised. Don't feel that you will upset anyone by leaving them out of your Twelve, it's a personal choice.

When you have your team it should be a statement that says, "I  can take these players anywhere in the country and they will not lose many games against armature cricket teams.
