How it works
These fantasy cricket team names come five at a press, from Yorker Pudding to Captained the Wrong One. All 88 were written for a fantasy team, not a side that plays, and no player, league, franchise or app is named.

The cricket behind the jokes
A golden duck is out for zero on the first ball faced, and a pair is zero in both innings of a match. A maiden is an over with no runs off the bat and no wides or no-balls. A nightwatchman is a lower order batter sent in late in the day to protect a better one.
Questions and answers
What are funny names for fantasy cricket teams?
Yorker Pudding, Corridor of Uncertain Picks, Retired Hurt Feelings, Bouncer at the Door and Chin Music Critics are in the Cricket puns set. Each is built on a cricket term, so it works in any league.
What is a good name when my captain pick fails?
Captained the Wrong One, My Captain Got a Duck, Captain on the Bench and Vice-Captain Scored More are in the Captain and vice-captain picks set, written for that week.
Are the names clean enough for an office league?
Yes. Every name is clean, and the Office league names set adds work jokes such as Stumps at Five, Follow-On Emails, Payroll Powerplay and Tea Break Tacticians.
How is this list different from cricket team names?
These are for fantasy teams: captain picks, deadlines, points on the bench. Names for a side that plays are on the cricket team names page, and no name is on both lists.
