1. Bowler

2. Wicket Keeper 

Off side;

3. Deep third man - fairly fine to cover any edges that get past the keeper or 1/2nd slip if I want to be more attacking

4. Gully, Point or cover point - depending on how fast the bowler is

5. Wide mid off (push him back when batsman is set & hitting big)

Leg side

6. Square leg(push him back when batsman is set & hitting big)

7. Shortish mid wicket(push him back when batsman is set & hitting big)

8. Long on

Many teams I play against put everyone back on the boundary but if you have faith in your bowlers, nothing slows the run rate like wickets. I like to put fielders in the above positions but obviously when a batter is set you need some guys on the fence.  If set even with everyone on the fence generally a good batsman will find the gaps or clear the boundary anyway.  Even though its 20/20 if you can hold your nerve & have accurate bowlers in your side, keep your fielders in & go for wickets instead of playing too defensive.

But I also have the great ability to hit the ball when i bat right handed.

I am a junior level league player.playing in surrey cricket league.

my question is that.

if i bat 20 overs(say),can i bat the first 10 overs in left handed and the other 10 in right handed? :)

[i am not talking about switch hits]

hope u can understand

thanks

Do you think that is a good drill?

 

Cheers
