CRICKET. 37
Years and hard work have mostly tamed down the ardor of
our leading Professionals before they attain to a leading place
among their brethren.
Even the comparative youngsters amongst them are so over
done by the almost unbroken succession of matches, in which
their presence is indispensable, that, however good their condition may be, they scarcely come on to the ground in their
full freshness and vigor.
If, therefore, the Amateurs would only cultivate steadiness
as an addition to their undoubtedly superior activity and enthusiasm, they would prove a much harder nut for the Professionals to crack than, as a rule, they contrive to be.
A diagram of a cricket field will be useful in pointing out
the various places in the Field of the several Fieldsmen.
These places vary with the style of the bowling.
With fast bowling the main body of Fieldsmen stand behind
or near the wickets; with slow, well away from, and in front
of the wickets.
A Field of Sixteen gives about all the important places.
The Diagram on the next page must be taken in lieu of verbal description of the Positions of the several Fieldsmen.
