PLANS OF FIELDS.

PLATE B.
Plan of a Field for a Fast Right-hand Bowler (e.g., Richardson), (i.) On a slow easy wicket; (ii.) on a sticky wicket; (iii.) on a crumbling wicket.
Note.—In case (i.) either short-leg or a third slip may be used according to the batsman. In case (ii.) a short-leg is indispensable, and usually extra long-on may be used instead of third-man, point being slightly behind the wicket, or mid-on may be moved towards umpire and short-leg moved back to extra long-on. In case (iii.) slips must be deeper and lob or 5 moved to fine long-leg, point being behind the wicket.
