22 % No. V. To a fast round-arm bowler. * 1. Bowler. 5. Long-slip. 9. 2. Wicket keeper. 6. Third man. 10. 3. Long-stop. 7. Point. 11. 4. Short-slip. 8. Cover-point. 12. U. Umpires. Mid-off. Mid-on. Short-leg. Long-leg. Some bowlers prefer to dispense with long-leg (No. 12), but this device should not be tried without good reason. In case of his removal it would be well to place him at mid-on (No. 10), as the field, it will be seen, is placed for twelve instead of eleven men. Hill, Martin McIntyre, and W. McIntyre are three notable specimens of this class of bowler. phene diagrams arc intended to show chiefly tho direction relative to the wickets in which each fieldsman in placed. They are not intended to be mathematically accurate in point of distance, an the necessity of compressing the held to show the full length of the wickets has made the fieldsmen in several instances out of proportion, and the measurement of their in comparison with the scale of ground from batsman to batsman inaccurate.
