A very useful place for a field for this class of oowler is either an extra mid-off to save the run, or deep on the off side. Much depends on the state ol the ground, style of the batsman, and accuracy of the bowler. Long teg is frequently brought up to save the run, and long-stop agai employed elsowhere.
