Lineup rules
1) A proper wicket-keeper (

/

/

) in your XI.
2) A minimum of
6 players marked to bowl (

).
3)
No more than 4 overseas players (

) allowed in an XI. Due to exceptional circumstances only Regina Phalange can field more, but they must play all their local players (

) in every match as a result of this.
3) Players ruled out due to injury or player clashes cannot be selected.
4) The time limit for posting lineups is
48 hours. I will likely go with a random lineup if your lineup isn't posted within that time.

Explanation on pitch types

Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.

Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.

Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.

Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.

Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.

Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way

Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.

Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 4 an over.
