Short-slip. 8. Mid-on. U. U. Umpires. 12. Long-leg. * Medium pace bowling of flic present day usually foregoes a long stop when accuracy can be relit d on. In this case long-stop may judiciously 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 shaip Oi this class of f owling Mr. W. G. Grace and Filiery are notablcMnstarces.
