text:
A scratch team is a team, usually in sport, brought together on a temporary basis, composed of players who normally play for different sides. A game played between two scratch teams may be called a scratch match. The earliest instance of the term "scratch team" recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is a restaurant guide in 1851. The OED also records the term "scratch match" – defined as an impromptu game played by scratch teams – being used in the same year in Rev. James Pycroft's The Cricke
