Hey there! Winter is no big deal at Last Man Standing Bloemfontein Cricket. Right now, the Winter league is going strong, and if you're not up to speed on all the excitement, we'll fill you in on what's been happening and what's coming up next.
What's the dealio?
So, like, a typical winter day in Bloemfontein is pretty much like the usual British weather, just without the rain, you know? They're really into cricket there, so why not us?
But hey, there are a couple of things that set apart the regular T20 cricket from Last Man Standing Cricket. And you know what? In Bloemfontein, they did some prep work to make the Winter League happen.
So, in the Last Man Standing rules, teams can score points not just by being awesome at sports, but also by rocking their team gear. When it's chilly out, athletes usually bundle up with extra clothes, so the refs aren't too picky about taking away points if the whole team isn't matching exactly, as long as they're repping their team gear as one of the layers.
So, the pitch surface is a big deal in the game. You know, cricket pitches are mainly made for summer games, so they can get pretty delicate in the winter. To keep the Free State University groundman happy, they decided to use synthetic mats to shield the pitch.
Teams are saying that the mats are a total game changer. The ball acts differently, so it takes a bit of time to adjust. Basically, the bounce is all over the place, and it's tough to put a good spin on the ball. Overall, most people agree that the matted pitches are better for the batters.
So, to tackle this issue, we try out new strategies every weekend, and here's how it goes down.
