Do bowlers who participate towards the end of the tournament have an advantage over bowlers who participate at the beginning? The later bowlers have the benefit of knowing the oil pattern for several months (and may have a change to bowl on the pattern.. although it may not play exact, it gives an idea). Later bowlers benefit from the experience of others who bowled previously... this ball worked.. this one didn't for me... better shot playing inside vs. outside, etc. A lot of times, new equipment is available in June, that wasn't even released in Feb, Mar, or April...
My feeling is that its probably limited if any as you still need to bowl and compete on the conditions.. but it was something I had been thinking about for quite some time.
