- Before the ball is bowled: examine the field, know your responsibilities.
- As the ball reaches the batsman assume fielding position:
- Close fielders: crouch, hands forward and up.
- Infielders: knees bent, hands apart.
- Outfielders: upright, hands off hips.
- As ball is struck by the batsman:
- Mobility I: Get as close to the line of the ball as possible.
- Mobility II: Adjust for contact with ball.
- Mobility III: React after contact.
- Backing up the play: Go immediately to the line of the throw.
As captain, I would kindly request that players do not talk or misbehave on the field or off the field. To win we need full co-operation.
