e.g (primary field positions)

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

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 :p, 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?

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.
