Fielding Positions

[jkartik]

ok guys, need your help on this. i'll be assigning every player with their primary fielding positions soon, so if you can share your knowledge...it'll be great !

e.g (primary field positions)

Sachin Tendulkar - First Slip
Yuvraj Singh - Point
Ishant Sharma - Third Man

etc

 

[shravi]

Dravid- first slip. If he's not at first slip, Sachin is. However, Dravid is always first slip to spinners.

Some NZ ones,

Ross Taylor - First Slip
Daniel Vettori - Mid off
Martin Guptill - Square Leg
Jesse Ryder - Gully

There should probably be "Best Bowling Match" and "Best Bowling Innings" for 2-innings game modes....

England:

Slips: Strauss
Point: Collingwood
Midwicket: KP
Short Leg: Ian Bell

I think you should concentrate on the "glamour" positions and get those right and then perhaps some notoriusly bad fielders could always go at fine leg or 3rd man. The rest could be fairly random I think with a bias towards bowlers going on to boundary positions...

The most important/distinctive for being a particular person postions are...

Keeper , Slip 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, Point/Gully, Short leg...short cover.

Once you've got these for each of the teams the rest don't really matter? Or am I wrong?

Collingwood fields in the slips in Tests, but point in ODIs. KP more often than not fields at gully.

tom beat me to it,

yes, colly fields at point in odi's and slips in tests.

also, monty panesar used to field in 3rd man area, because he wasn't a great fielder.
