Best/funnest fielding position

[Stumped]

What do you think is the best/funnest fielding position.
Personaly i believe keeper, the maybe covers or gully.
Slips i believe would have to be the boringest.

Slip

 

[Stumped]

woops forgot slip in the poll

 

[adharcric]

Big difference between gully and point IMO. Fielding at gully is almost like fielding at slip, but fielding at point is pretty fun if you like to run around, take a start and charge the ball. Fielding at mid-off can also be fun if you like to work on the ball.

 

[ripper868]

covers for mine

 

[howardj]

I think Point is the most difficult position in which to field.

 

[no1_gangsta_786]

I enjoy fielding at mid on or mid off.

 

[Turbinator]

Covers and Point, you're always in action. When ever I get tired, I go into slip.

 

[Jono]

Depends what level you are playing at.

If you are playing a fairly lower/casual level, and can catch a ball, mid-on is gold. The amount of skied catches there is amazing.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I generally go at either 2nd slip, backward point or Mid-Off, so pretty varied. I like to think of myself as a good fielder, who can catch better than most people.

 

[adharcric]

Backward point for me as well. Very exciting if you enjoy fielding and are athletic.

 

[James90]

Backward point or short cover/midwicket. Generally just catching positions, especially when the position is in the batsman's favourite run scoring area. I'm a wicketkeeper though and find that much more enjoyable than slip.

I love fielding at cover, but to be fair I haven`t fielded elsewhere, other than fine-leg, for most my cricket career.

 

[andyc]

Anywhere near the batsman, really, but cover's great. Get to make a few stops, a catch or two, and you get a chance for some good sledging

 

[GIMH]

I voted keeper

I hate fielding at mid-on, because I always drop easy catches

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

I like to field at covers or backward point. Fielding in the slips is supposed to be glamorous, but I've stood at second slip for ages in school games and it gets really boring. The concentration levels required are enormous.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

Short Leg, its like an extreme version of dodgeball

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Fine leg, because most likely at lower levels you are bowling at the other end. Midwicket is also fun.

 

[nightprowler10]

Keeper was the prized fielding position in my team. Never really had any work to do.

 

[PhoenixFire]

You're most likely to get killed at Short Leg, should be fun, plus the best place to sledge people.
