Could have been discussed in THIS thread.

 

[ziad123_2005]

thats what fielding positions there are in cricket, this is WHERE THE FIELDERS STAND

 

[jkartik]

well..no problem in continuing with this thread

btw, you could do primary as well as secondary fielding positions !
e.g

Hayden's Primary Position is the slips. while his secondary position
will be something else say...Short Leg ? not sure as i havent seen
him play for a while.

Edit: Chris Gayle

 

[ahk2578]

Gayle-Slips
Bravo-Cover-Gully(more like Jonty Rhodes when he was around)
Sarwan-slips/short leg/silly point
lara- slips/cover/mid-on/off (now he's captain again)
edwards-square leg/long leg/ fine leg (dangerous to have on the boundary )

 

[manee]

Ill tell u just for info, that Flintoff is a great fielder anywhere...he has safe hands to go in the slips, but also a great arm and quick to go on the boundary...the only place he cant go is backward point because hes not quite good enough

 

[viral1991]

Sehwag : Anywhere, except close-in!
Kaif : Cover region, Mid-wicket, Close-in
Tendulkar : Anywhere, except close-in!

 

[PhilD123]

Paul Collingwood - Backward point/point

 

[legend_master]

nice thread...yeah, these would just be default or preferred positions, but obviously you can position them anywhere when you customise your field.

 

[Jdz]

Well, Katich usually fields up close around the bat.

 

[blackleopard92]

here's India

Fielding pos also vary.for eg, In powerplays, some kaif stands in covers, while in ending matches, he stands around deep square leg, while to spinners , he stands around batpad.


Gautam Ghambir - slips/short leg/ leg gully.
Dravid - Slips/ mid on / mid wicket.
Tendulkar - mid on/ deep point
