Cricket field diagram

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Diagram of a Cricket ground showing various fielding positions and variations of the field as it may be set for a right-handed batsman.
Changes compared to Cricket fielding positions2.svg
  • Closer in → nearer the batsman
  • very close in → very near the batsman
  • toward 90 deg to the pitch → level with batsman's crease
  • 1s, 2s, 3 etc → 1, 2, 3 etc
  • Mid on, mid off → Mid-on, Mid-off (there's absolutely no consensus anywhere - midwicket, mid-wicket, and mid wicket all seem equally used, but at least we can be consistent within the diagram, hyphenating everywhere)
  • Brackets around runner: (R*)
  • Add short mid-wicket: "Short" positioned between mid-wicket and silly mid-on.
  • Get rid of circles around batsman and non-striker (they're not described in the legend, don't seem to mean much?)
  • cover sweeper → sweeper cover (more frequent on google)
  • Add stumps
  • Change = to : in glossary.
