Cover point is where your best inner ring fielder should always be to a seam bowler, right?

This is a special field setting for a particular type of seam bowler: One we set up to give a prize away here.

The bower in question has a unique style in that he bowls wide on the crease and gets plenty of seam movement.

He mainly plays 50 over club matches with draws possible, bowling in the middle of the innings or towards the end.

It’s been a while since I asked for your help in return for some online cricket coaching; but now the time has come again.
