Are the warmups with out the Camp/Tour players?

[steds]

What form of the game will those warmups be?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Preliminary communications with the groundsmen suggest that the conditions will be as follows this season:

PDV Dome
- Medium-sized ground
- Quick, bouncy surface
- Very little for spin bowlers
- Dome roof will be closed for OD games only

CW Oval
- Large ground
- Nice easy-paced surface, decent bounce, a bit of seam assistance
- A bit for spin bowlers late in the game

CWBCC Stadium
- Largest ground in CWLand
- Easy-paced surface, decent bounce, little seam assistance
- Lots of assistance for spin bowlers throughout

Goffmouth Park
- Small ground
- Easy-paced surface, decent bounce, a bit of seam assistance
- A bit of assistance for spin bowlers throughout

Pickford Reserve
- Medium-sized ground
- Easy-paced surface, below average bounce, seam assistance throughout
- Lots of assistance for spin bowlers throughout

But the end of the check-in period is on the same day as the first warm-up. How are captains supposed to select a squad for that first game if their squad isn't even confirmed yet? Are the squads in the other thread guaranteed not to be changed (except in the case of a trade)?

The first two games. The players then leave for the West Indies.

Players will be added on Friday as cover to squads with outstanding players. I think there are about 3 unsigned players still.

And yes, squads will only change otherwise if there is a trade.

• 4 is added to bowling average and subtracted from batting average unless batting average is under 18 or bowling average is over 30.
• If batting is less than or equal to 18 and bowling is more than 25, the bowling average is not adjusted.
• If batting is less than 5 and bowling is more than 22 but less than or equal to 25, the bowling is not adjusted.
• Peak batting is 45, with any higher value lowered from that point.
• Effectively, no rookie can average more than 41.
• If batting is more than or equal to 35, bowling average may not be less than 30. The average is lowered from a peak of 35 by however many less than 30. Eg 25 bowling = 35-5 = 30; 28 bowling = 35-2 = 33
• If batting is more than or equal to 30 but less than 35, bowling average may not be less than 28. The average is lowered from a peak of 33..
• If batting and bowling are more than or equal to 30, both are adjusted by 4 points.
• Base bowling is 22, with any lower value raised from that point.
• Effectively, no rookie can average less than 26.
• If bowling average is more than 30, no adjustment is made.
• Economy peaks at 4.5. Economy lowered by 0.4 if it is more than 3.
• Bowling averages more than or equal to 40 with no economy entered are assigned an economy of 4.5
• Bowling averages more than or equal to 35 and less than 40 with no economy entered are assigned an economy of 3.8
• If a specialist wicketkeeper averages less than 28, the batting is not adjusted.
