Find me someone who recommends using a 2-piece ball on turf, Keswick would be irresponsible if they didn't make such a recommendation. All Keswick did was ask clubs to consider it, seems that was too much to ask for.
It's a disadvantage to the other teams. A lot of players have played hard wicket all their lives. Used 2-piece balls all their lives. Learnt to bowl with a 2-piece.
Will Keswick supply 4 piece balls for teams to train with so their players can get used to the difference in bowling with 2 piece to a 4 piece. Will Keswick supply turf nets for teams to practice so players can learn the nuances of a turf deck?
It will be up to the opposition team as to what ball both sides will use.
Keswick must use the same ball as what the visiting side wants to use.
Keswick will need to notify the visiting team's secretary, assoc secretary and umpires co-ordinator(if applicable) by 5pm Friday if they wish to transfer a game from Westminster to another oval. If this hasn't been done then play will go ahead at Westminster and if the ground/pitch is unfit for play then a one dayer will be played the following week or the game will deemed a draw, as per any other game that is called off due to inclement weather.
