In this case long-stop mayjudiciously be placed at long-on, though obviously the positions must be altered according to the specialities of each batsman. Long-leg (No. 12) is often brought forward to a line parallel with the umpire at batsman's end, but if the striker hit late, he should remain sharp . Of this class of bowling Mr. W. G. Grace and Fillery are notable instances .
