Pitches in Ko-oren
Geography and climate have some influence on results. Batsmen, or different kinds of bowlers are favoured on different kinds of pitches. If you're ever interested in watching a match here, or even play here, this is what you can expect based on the location of your club.
Mawryshire
The biggest challenge across Mawryshire really isn't the pitch. The winds pick up randomly and haphazardly, so playing any kind of lofted shot is a game of chance, but it has its effect on bowling as well. There are tons of instances where a shot is just carried over the boundary by the wind, or where a miraculous boundary catch was possible just because a gust kept the ball from going cleanly over the rope. Pitches are generally quite grassy, slightly wet, and tend not to deteriorate too much over time. Batsmen should be cautious and patient.
West Surbourneshire
This region is just east from Mawryshire, so you could imagine the conditions are very similar. Which is true, for the slightly grassy pitches and how nothing can ever really dry out there. There are still some windy conditions, but it's really nothing compared to Mawryshire. There can be some bounce, and the contest between bat and ball is just about as even as you'll find across the archipelago. There are some minute differences between seaside venues as opposed to inland places. The fact that this region includes the island of Burnet doesn't change much, surprisingly.
Greencaster
This region is comprised of just a single city. Its surburban pitches behave exactly like those in West Surbourneshire. The pitches surrounded by the larger stadiums have fully embraced the drop-in pitch. Not just Greencaster Oval, but also Emermere Oval (used by three of its 12 local division clubs) and Verdant Oval (used by another two clubs) have these.
East Surbourneshire
Like West Surbourneshire, this region has a lot of seaside venues, as well as some inland ones. Its largest cities, especially those used for international cricket, count as inland. There are no grassy pitches here, conditions are much, much drier, sometimes even dusty. This creates a unique setting of firm bat-friendly pitches, that often deteriorate into spin-friendly, sandy pitches. Groundsmen have a considerably tougher job just to make pitches useable even just for the first few days of a match, and it's nearly impossible to keep a pitch consistent for all four-to-five days. The further east you go, the 'worse' it gets. Cirelbourne is a lot friendlier than Bruncester, for example. Bruncester is further away from the coast, has less influence from the river the city's on, and is located further east.
Leeshire
Finally we've departed from the seaside regions. Leeshire is massive, spanning from the mountainous west all the way to the plains. Therefore, conditions differ slightly from city to city. In general, pitches are drier and bouncier, providing higher scores than anywhere else in the country. It can get pretty hot here as well, further creating bat-friendly cricket. Aubury and Idyllwild are close to the mountains, so early and late in the season there could be some deviation. The rest, from Maynard, to Huthwich, and everything in between, is fairly even year-round. On the local level, there are some clubs from West Strand Riding's Eaglebury included, but their situation is much more like Mawryshire than Leeshire.
Willowbourne
As another region that's just one single city, Willowbourne has three actual stadiums. Royal Oval is the largest, used by the national team often, and is kept very natural, like Leeshire's east: dry, bouncy, well-maintained, and good for high scores. Shephall Oval and Summerkind Oval are suburban and may use drop-ins if things get dire.
Other places
Other locations will never be used for international cricket, but they're worth a mention. Cricket is a staple in summer for the southwest, which is where the six regions mentioned above are. That said, the sport is expanding a little into other places, where the playing season is a little shorter, or where baseball is a larger sport than cricket.
Mayara has seaside conditions like West Surbourneshire, though a bit colder.
Cote Austral has seaside like West Surbourneshire in the north. It's exactly like East Surbourneshire in the south, where Cote Austral almost turns to desert on Finisterre's border.
