As in very swift bowling the ball is often hit to the off, it will be seen that in [Diagram I.] we have placed no less than six out of the eleven on that side. Mid-wicket on and long-off should be a little nearer the bowler, and long-slip nearer the long-stop, than represented in the illustration.

In [Diagram II.] third man up is made mid-wicket on, while cover-point comes in nearer than when the bowling was very fast.

In [Diagram III.], as the bowling is slow, no long-stop is required; he is therefore sent as an additional field behind the bowler. Short-slip stands in very close to the wickets.
