[Verified Enigma]

Did I signup for this or is it the will of wheel… o.O

 

[Aislabie]

Apologies if I'm a little late. Aubrey Faulkner please

 

[CerealKiller]

Shahid Afridi

 

[Neptune]

Feel like there's a very slim chance I'm getting the player I choose so Maharajkumar of Vizianagram

 

[Bevab]

In true EA loot-box fashion, I’m going to opt for a thoroughly average player historically who nevertheless punched above his weight and entertained the masses in Salim Durani.

Watch out for more obscure, vibes based picks from me.

 

[Till Valhalla]

Shahid Afridi

Punch punch

 

[ddrap14]

I'll go with a James Bazley

Time for the Wheel of Enigma to strike down. I will be simulating the outcomes and show you all the fate of your pick but that will take a couple of days owing my work schedule.

Meanwhile, here are the possible outcomes for Round 1, keep praying to the Wheel Gods that you get the one in your favour...

Spoiler: Possible Round 1 Outcomes

• Retain your pick and let someone else pick for you in the next round
• Swap the initials of your current pick and pick your player who has the swapped initials, else you get a random pick
• If your pick has won any of the ICC tournament, you get the choice to keep him or select a Man of the Series player from any ICC tournament
• Scrap your pick and choose a player whose first name has atleast 2 non-vowel letters in common with your PC username
• Pick a player who has the same initials as your current pick, you get Napoleon Einstein if you fail to find one
• Swap you pick with any specialist batter picked in this round
• If you have picked someone from Asia, then pick a specialist bowler with a bowling average of 40+ in T20s instead, else keep your pick
• Chris Martin opens the batting for your team

Is it order?

 

[Verified Enigma]

Is it order?

The order of going for the wheel will be randomised every round

Oh so they are just the wheel options, the outcome is yet to come.

Yep

 

[Neptune]

Some of these look pretty bad but there actually some good options hidden

I have put in all types of options to not make it a lopsided affair. Really depends on where the arrow stops on for a particular pick.

 

[Verified Enigma]

Its time to kick start this,

First up is @mohsin7827
Since you picked Simon Jones who isn't an all-rounder, you will get a random cricketer

Spoiler

You got Roston Chase
