Fielding Positions


While playing Cricket, 97% of the time is spent not actually playing Cricket. Thus, officials have developed a series of "fielding positions" in order to trick players into spending their weekend standing in the middle of a large grassy area; these positions are set out in the Wisden Almanack. Most fielders tend to run forward several feet every time the ball is bowled, and clapping is also common. Although seemingly pointless, these actions are believed to prevent deep vein thrombosis, which is a common complaint among cricketers, particularly those fielding at fine leg.
The batsman The person with bat who is standing facing the umpire is usually known as the batsman. Even women who bat are called batsmen rather than batswomen. The batsman uses the bat for digging the pitch, pasting chewing gums, scattering jellybeans, fixing the stumps, hitting people, as a measuring ruler, for scratching his back, as a support for standing, and occasionally to hit the ball. The batsman is frequently disliked, yet his arrival and departure from the field is always celebrated.
The runner This is the batsman to whom the bowler doesn't bowl. He should be close to the umpire, usually a first cousin or nephew.
Wicket Keeper This is a very important position, especially during Test Matches which may last 5 days, occasionally with a result. At the end of each day, "Stumps" is declared by the umpires. The wicket is then given to the wicket keeper to guard. At dawn the next day the wicket keeper must approach the pavilion from where the umpires will shout, "Halt, Who goes There?" to which the wicket keeper replies, "The Keeper of the Wicket!" The response by the umpires is then, "Whose Wicket?" The keeper replies, "The Queen's Wicket, Gentlemen!" At this point the umpires allow the wicket keeper to place three stumps topped by two "bails" on to each end of the pitch, and play retires for lunch.
Umpire There are numerous umpires. The two on-field umpires are officially hired fat old men, one of whom stands behind the bowler's wicket (the wicked umpire) and one who hides in the field: this is the umpire of the square-leg which may be wooden, the umpire usually being a pirate. A new "third umpire" or "television camera" has recently been introduced to the game: this provides an opportunity for the other 2 billion "at-home" umpires to adjudicate. The on-field umpires must carry Murray Mints, handkerchiefs, caps, pull-overs, etc for the bowler and sometimes for the batsman. In cases where the bowlers are too demanding or if the batsman doesn't trust an umpire's honesty, the pirate umpire is called in to settle the dispute with his cutlass. The T.V. umpire may also asked to stop showing 'Coronation Street' and give a decision.
Slips Fielding players may be dressed in negligees and asked to stand close behind the batsman, their objective being to distract the batsman so that he gets out.
Fine leg This is any fielding position where the fielder wears shorts instead of pajamas to show off his freshly-waxed legs.
Gully Streets in Indian slums are called "gullies", and many children learn to play cricket there. The "gully" thus reminds the fielder of his boyhood and how much richer and corrupt he has become since then. In Australia, a gully is a ravine leading to a "creek" and is usually the place where children retire to learn to smoke cigarettes and play with their balls. Thus the "gully" in this case is "up the creek" (invariably without a paddle). No-one likes being in the gully.
Leg slip A fielding position name reserved for the area of the outfield with the most amount of dew, giving rise to the old adage, "There's many a slip twixt leg and ball." Recent research shows Leg slips may be a direct consequence of a Fine Leg in the crowd.
Short leg This is not the disadvantage one would think. David Boon from Tasmania and Sachin Tendulkar from India had two of them and still performed remarkably well. Pirates also qualify for short-leg positions on field.
Silly point A fielder at "silly point" is generally no more than 3 yards from the batsman and will attempt to get the batsman in fits of laughter, so much so that he is unable to breathe. This behaviour is traditionally avenged by the batsman driving a ball down the fielder's throat, with a cry of "Howzzat?"
Square leg "Square legs" are often also required to wear an eye patch and declare "Shiver me timbers!" whenever a ball goes for four. The burial of gold and other precious treasures is against the rules and can result in a mutiny.

Modes of Dismissal

Run out: A batsman may be in for such an abominably tedious length of time that he runs out of breath and therefore collapses. He is then required to walk after being resuscitated, or the batsman becomes so bored of batting he just runs out of the stadium.
Bowled: This occurs when a sadistic delivery from an ultra-fast bowler takes the hair off the batsman. The batsman needs to duck in this situation to avoid being out, so that he becomes out anyway.

LBW: Although no cricket analyst has ever worked out what this stands for, the most frequent guess was that it "sounds like a band of some sort." Consequently LBW is the official term given for dismissing a batsmen who uses one of his three legs (two long and one short leg): the left, the right or the middle or all three of them as one to stop the ball instead of using his bat. In this kind of a dismissal he has a 66.7% chance of being castrated by the incoming ball.
Stumped: This rule was first used in 1994 when Shane Warne bowled a Mars Bar to Mike Gatting, short of a length. As Gatting stepped out of his crease to pick up the Mars Bar he was stumped by the Wicket Keeper. Being "stumped" also occurs when no-one can remember what the score is, or indeed why they are standing around in the middle of a field doing nothing and just scratching their asses.
Caught: The batsman is caught performing some socially unacceptable act, which is declared "not cricket". He must then leave the field in embarrassment. In view of this rule, New Zealand has passed a law making the use of the word "blimey" a strict social taboo, punishable by burning in some provinces. The rules in cricket are so strict that Ian Botham, legendary all-rounder, was caught on camera picking a bogey and swallowing it whole. He had to walk.
Timed out: Unreliable wireless Internet access in the centre of the field causes a timeout. The batsman must stomp off to the pavilion to find out who has placed his hat on the antenna.
Handled the ball: The bowler can attempt to influence play by means of strategic rubbing of the surface of one side of the ball against his/her genitals and/or licking or scratching his ball(s). This necessitates a re-structuring of the fielders' positions, as no-one wants to catch the ball. This rule is applicable only in very rare cases in a game of women's cricket and the umpire may ask to inspect the ball (this is called "ball sniffing"). 'Handling the ball' is also not allowed by other members of the team, as it is the job a cricketer's wife.
Obstruction: This occurs when a batsman attempts to interfere with a fielder. This usually involves placing an object such as a tank-trap, barbed-wire fence, brick wall or other obstruction in the way of the fielder. The batter may also attempt to trip a fielder, or hit him with the bat or other implement, or he may attempt to conceal the ball. Sir Francis Drake famously concealed the ball by sitting on it, in a 'friendly' match with the Spanish in 1588, allowing his fellow batsman to run 953 before being Run out with a stump through the heart.
Hit wicket: When a batsman is unceremoniously hit in his middle stump while trying to play a stroke causing him to fall to the ground in extreme pain, he is thus forced to walk (or waddle or crawl). A hit wicket is also declared if part of a batsman, such as his head, or part of his clothing, such as his jockstrap, should fall on the wicket and dislodge a bail or the wicket-keeper.
Hit the ball twice: The bowler successfully catapults the ball at relativistic speeds towards the batsman, causing a temporal anomaly in the vicinity of the batsman in which he appears to hit it twice. Though in these circumstances 'hit' is a generous term.
Retired out: Sometimes during a long test match, especially when batsman is getting a high score and it takes long time, batsman thinks I have enough of this! Damn it!. Then he says to the umpire that he does not want to play any more cricket and he decided to retire. Player will get a nice pension based on his club's salary, so he gets retired out.
