![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.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Cricket_fielding_positions2.svg/448px-Cricket_fielding_positions2.svg.png)
