19 TTo. 'II.—A slow or medium pace left-handed bowler round-arm). S. S. Strikers. 1. Bowler. 5. Point. 9. Long-off, 2. Wicket-keeper. 6. Cover-point, 10. Mid-on. 3. 4. Short-slip. Third man. 7. 8. Cover-point (forward). Mid-oil. 11. Short-leg. U. U. Umpires. Now-a-days long-stop^is usually dispensed witli, 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-oti (No. 8) further"back, and place No. 9 at long-stop. With a good on hitter, however, like Mr. W. G-. t-frace, the on-side must be strengthened by the removal of No. 12 to a position on the on-side between 10 and 11. Mr. Buchanan is the best specimen of the slow left, and James Lilly white, jun., of the medium pace left round-arm bowler.
