Now-a-days long -stop is usually dispensed with , but he should not be removed unless bowling is very straight and wicket -keeping very sure . In this case it would be advisable to place mid-off (No. 8) further back , and place No. 9 at long- stop . With a good on-hitter , however , like Mr. W. G. Grace , the on-side must be strengthened bythe removal of No. 12 to a position on the on-side between 10 and11. Mr. D. Buchanan is the best specimen of the slow left , and James Lilly- white, jun. , of the mediumpace left round-armbowler .
