Xtra Fielders! what is the limit?

When playing a grueling 1 on 1 test match with your brother how many extra fielders are you allowed to place around the yard? I normally just grab an otto bin and place it at bat pad but I feel that i need some cover on the off side! Is it 'legal' for an extra 2 or 3 fielders to be placed?

anything in our yard that is there, be it a tree, a wheelbarrow, the dog, anything, it considered a fielder so if you hit it on the full you're out.

Same Lach but with us it was always a case of the more the merrier but you can't leave the game once you got out!!
