Guide to the Field
GETTING in ahead of readers who would no doubt ask us again this year to reprint before the Test matches Russell Clark’s drawing of the cricket field, we do so on this page. When our official artist was asked to draw a pictorial diagram showing the fielding positions for the help of readers and listeners, the suggestion was that it should be clear but not too conventional. If some readers do not find it as clear as it might be. it should perhaps be explained that all the 18 fielding positions shown are not likely to be filled simultaneously. The key to the figures is as follows: (*) batsman receiving ball, (UU) umpires, (1) bowler, (2) wicketkeeper, (3) and (4) were left out because of pressure on space-in*’any case they are simply extra men at (5) slips, (6) gulley, (7) third man, (8) deep third man, (9) point, (1C) cover point, (11) extra cover, (12) mid off, (13) mid on, (14) deep mid on, (15) long: off, (16) long on, (17) square leg, (18) deep square leg, (19) fine leg, (20) long leg, (21) silly mid on, (22) long stop. ~ The first Test starts at Brisbane | on Friday, November 26, and our story of the broadcasts for the game is given on page 6 of this issue,
