Matches Posted [Sheffield Shield 2024] - NSW's unbeaten run ends?!?

[Paranoid Kendroid]

We can start the signups for now. I am still setting up the first page so drafts won't start straightaway. Just need help with how the pitch conditions should be rated for each stadium. Maybe @VC the slogger can help. Or @ddrap14 if he is available? If someone wants to help please try to rate the stadium pitches according to this format:

Types of pitches available

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 2 an over.

SCG (New South Wales)
The Gabba (Queensland)
Adelaide Oval (South Australia)
Blundstone Arena (Tasmania)
MCG (Victoria)
WACA Ground (Western Australia)

Tagging some members who I think might be interested in signing up. It would be nice if inactive managers don't take part without a co (not naming anyone). There is no huge advantage in picking any team since you would be allowed to only pick one real-life player from your squad (teams will be built from scratch).
