Fielding positions
To assist our scorers and players a schematic of fielding positions for cricket has been drafted and can be downloaded for printing using the PDF in [this link PDF]. A picture is shown by way of example.
The pictures show the most common field placing for both right and left batsmen. The fine detail of the many alternate positions like 'forward', 'backward', 'deep' and 'short' have been left out.
The drawings are based on original work by Miljoshi shown in wikipedia. See: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_field_positions]
