Thatscricket - The field positions

The fielding positions in cricket are as much important to the players as to those who follow the game. With the game becoming a passion and every match telecast on TV being viewed by thousands of people, it becomes imperative even for a layman to understand the cricket jargon. Given above is a diagram designed by Thatscricket.com that gives the approximate positions of the fielding side as envisaged during the course of a match.

The cricket ground is largely divided into the offside and onside. The offside is to the right of a right-handed batsman (to the left of a left-handed batsman). The onside is to the left of a right-handed (to the right of a left-handed batsman). The onside is also referred to as the legside.
