  1. Before the ball is bowled: examine the field, know your responsibilities.
  2. As the ball reaches the batsman assume fielding position:
    1. Close fielders: crouch, hands forward and up.
    2. Infielders: knees bent, hands apart.
    3. Outfielders: upright, hands off hips.
  3. As ball is struck by the batsman:
    1. Mobility I: Get as close to the line of the ball as possible.
    2. Mobility II: Adjust for contact with ball.
    3. Mobility III: React after contact.
  4. 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.
