Setting a field
Around the Academy:
Offside field
Off side field
If you have a bowler that you can rely on to bowl a disciplined line and length just outside off stump then it is possible to set a field that reflects this.

With seven fielders placed on the off side it is very difficult for the batting side to score runs. But this field can only be set for a very accurate bowler.

Anything on middle or leg stump will be worked away to the vacant leg side and will provide easy runs.
