Draft: The Enigmatic Draft - R2 goes through

[Sherlock Holmes]

Next up is @Bevab who has picked Salim Durani

But instead he needs to pick a player whose initials are DS instead of SD. If he fails, he gets a random pick.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Fellow @Neptune had picked Maharajah of Vizianagram and he becomes the first player to retain his pick, wonder whether he wished for this. Anyway, he isn't picking for the next round, though he can nominate someone to pick on his behalf...

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Its @Verified Enigma 's turn and the wheel has chosen this, that means no Ryan Harris for me.



Instead, I need to pick a player whose first name has atleast two of these letters "v, r, f, d, n, g, m.", those being the consonants in my username.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

The next in queue was bound to be @CerealKiller and the fate has decided to let him have his pick.

Shahid Afridi

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

The next in the wheel is @Till Valhalla and he has the most difficult decision ever to make,

While he cannot have Venugopal Rao
He needs to pick a specialist batter from the remaining picks in this round,
Surprisingly, the only two options left are Nawaz Sharif or Don Bradman

@Neo 7 OR @ahmedleo414 will get Rao instead, and then lets see what the wheel has for them ahead.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Up next is @pillowprocter whose current pick is the fiery Curtly Ambrose

Though he needs to pick another player with initials 'CA' unless he wants this bad boy,

@Till Valhalla don't disappoint me

 

[Bevab]

There’s only four cricketers I can think of and three of them are tempting options.

 

[Neptune]

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

@Bigby Wolf this is why you got banned, the site is only big enough for one of us

Moye moye.

 

[Till Valhalla]

@Till Valhalla don't disappoint me

Give me Shahid Afridi, then you can select my pick.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

@Neo 7 is the chosen next, and unfortunately his pick hasn't won any ICC tournament, so Nawaz Sharif stays with Naman. Unless @Till Valhalla decides to swap.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Time for @ddrap14

Quite poetic that a guy from Oceania gets to make a pick for a player from Oceania, of course it cannot be an Aussie or Kiwi

And that means, no James Bazley as well

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Its bold prediction time, and it looks like we see the greatest swap deal ever.

@ahmedleo414 has to let go Sir Donald Bradman and in comes the best batsman in the world Chris Martin who will open the batting for his team.



Ahmedleo XI:

1. Chris Martin



Regarding the swap of Till Vallhala, it is based on initial pick of Leo so Bradman is in contention for TV, not so much for Leo.

Update: Since the wheel chose Martin for Leo, Venugopal Rao is out. Oops.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Concluding the round with @Aislabie , since Aubrey Faulkner was an African, Aislabie keeps the Protea all-rounder in his team. Probably one of the best retentions of the round imo.
