No Requests Waste's Retro Things: 80s franchise teams | 1997 SL&IND teams | ID: wyyretro

Not sure Donald was being picked for any 80s franchise, he didn’t make his South Africa debut until the Gatting Rebel Tour in 1990.

He was at Warwickshire from 1987 and 'in 1989 he headed the national averages with 86 wickets at 16.25 apiece.'

I chose 1989 as the year to set this in. A good crossover of 70's/80's legends and up and coming 90s lads.

Fair enough! I didn’t realise he was Warwickshire as early as that.

Lovely. These are the legends my parents used to watch, as I wasn't there yet when they played. Though I do watch a lot of old cricket videos.

No, Sachin Tendulkar? He did make his debut in 1989, and would go on to become a force in the 1990s.

Inspired by The Hundred I'm taking a time machine back to the 1980s to make a franchise league of my own.

Featuring all the best players from the 1980s (and earlier or a little later) taking part in an English franchise system devised before SKY came along and got their grubby mits on cricket.

The BBC and all the best and most healthy brands have teamed up with teams from around the country to bring you a Super Series of cricket. A short form game of 46 overs per side to give the fans what they want a nicely easy, short day out at the cricket for all the family.

Welcome to the BBC Silk Cut Series.

Please bring forward player suggestions for who would be included. Both England internationals, global superstars and lesser known legends like mystery spinners Eddie Hemmings and John Emburey.

Current teams are:

Oval Imperials - Star Wars is the biggest franchise of the 1980s so what better way to celebrate the biggest sport in the world by teaming up with the biggest brand. May the fours be with you!

Birmingham A-Team - It's not just movies that the young people go to, they also watch the tube and that's why Brimingham have teamed up with the biggest brand in TV 'The A-Team'. I pity fools who don't coming along to Edgbaston, especially when each new batsman is driven out to the crease in the iconic van.

Yorkshire Yazoo - captained by 49-year-old Geoffrey Boycott, coming out of for retirement to show thee youngsters how it's done, the Yazoo will feature only players born in the county lines. As an exclusive part of the tie-in with the BBC, each innings break during Yorkshire Yazoo matches will feature a brand new episode of Last of the Summer Wine.

More to follow...

THIS IS EPIC!!

Did you ever complete the series?
