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 and W. M'Intyre are notable speci- m e n sof this class of bowler. [These diagrams are intended to show chiefly the direction relative to the wickets in which each fieldsman is placed . They are not intended to be mathematically accurate in point of distance , as the necessity of compressing the field to show the full length of the wickets has madethe fieldsmen in several instances out of proportion , andthe measurement of their positions , in comparison with the scale of ground from batsmen to batsmen , inaccu . rate.]
