The cover area runs from point all the way round to mid-off and is another important off-side position. Again it's normally where you'll find one of the better fielders in the side who'll be trying to stop drives off the front or back foot. There are a few different positions in the covers:
Extra cover is positioned between the regular cover fielder and mid-off. If that fielder is then brought into a catching position closer to the wicket then they become the short extra cover fielder. Deep extra cover is a more defensive position out on the boundary.
