  1. Right, here's how the teams look...

  2. Welsh Fire head coach Gary Kirsten: "It was good fun actually. It's always amazing these drafts because we're all looking at the same players. When you look at all the squads they all look pretty balanced really."

  3. In case you missed it earlier, each team also announced a marquee player for the women's version of the Hundred's draft:

    Southern Brave: Suzie Bates

    London Spirit: Tammy Beaumont

    Birmingham Phoenix: Sophie Devine

    Northern Superchargers: Alyssa Healy

    Welsh Fire: Meg Lanning

    Manchester Originals: Lizelle Lee

  4. Trent Rockets coach Stephen Fleming: "You only get three or four days before you start so you can't create any grand plans to introduce team spirit so it's important to sign players who know the team and the area."

    "A lot goes into it and there's a lot of sheets that I'm happy to throw into the bin now because it does preoccupy your mind."

  5. What I've basically learnt from this is that if ever I want a motivational talk, I'm calling up Stephen Fleming.

    And if I want to grow a ridiculous beard, then Dan Vettori is my man.

  6. Birmingham Phoenix's Moeen Ali: "I'm very happy. I think we've picked a smart team. I'm really looking forward to seeing Ravi (Bopara) actually."

    Ravi Bopara: "I'm delighted to be picked up. I think we've got a very smart squad actually."

  7. Northern Superchargers' Adil Rashid: "I'm very happy with the top order. I think we've got everything covered with our whole squad."

  8. Jason Roy just described some of his new teammates as "young punks".

    Jofra Archer, meanwhile, is working his way through his chicken dinner. Magnificent.

  9. 'It'll be a learning curve'

    New Welsh Fire signing Steve Smith: "It's going to be exciting to be in the first ever Hundred ball competition. I'm looking forward to joining Jonny, Starcy and the other boys, it looks a strong squad that they've put together.

    "Tom Banton is another good signing, he looks a quality player. It should be a good tournament.

    "It's a bit different. I'm sure it'll be a learning curve for the first couple of games for the captains and how they want to go about their tactics but I'm sure it'll be good for cricket. It'll be really exciting."

  10. Get Involved

    Henry Clark: London Spirit and Welsh Fire the stand-outs IMO.

  11. Steve Smith already knows who all his teammates are. A proper cricket nerd.

  12. Steve Smith is on the telly.

    Looks like a DREADFUL place to be giving an interview from...

    Steve Smigth

  13. I think Southern Brave look very strong, as do Welsh Fire.

    With Kane Williamson and Moeen Ali, I've automatically got a soft spot for Birmingham Phoenix...

  15. The final choices

    BBC

  16. Trent Rockets pick Luke Wright

    Luke Wright is in! By the skin of his teeth.

    That. Is. That.

  17. The final pick is...

  18. Southern Brave pick Craig Overton

    What a shout!

    Craig Overton is the final pick for Southern Brave.

  19. Northern Superchargers pick John Simpson

    Northern Superchargers pick another keeper. They add John Simpson to their ranks. They already have Ben Foakes.

  20. Welsh Fire pick Leus du Plooy

    Trescothick is writing on a notepad like a disapproving teacher. I love him.

    Left-arm spinner and batsman Leus du Plooy is the final name in their 15-man squad.
