Nine Fielders Standing in the Slip

[wpdavid]

Plus D'Oliveira of course. And Cowdrey. Barrington maybe? & Graveney? Looking at the B&W picture, I was wondering whether Milburn played.

As for the Aus batsman, I think Inverarity was the last man out.

EDIT
GIven the lack of replies recently, here's the scorecard for the match.
5th Test: England v Australia at The Oval, Aug 22-27, 1968 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

As for who's missing - do you mean he missed the game or was off the pitch injured?

btw always loved the fact that the Aus non-striker seems to be going for a quick single in this particular photo.

I meant Arthur Fagg, the square leg umpire

Strewth, I'd never of got that.

Looking at the scorecard, I was suprised to see Dexter playing - thought he'd long gone by then. Boycs must have been injured.

Do you remember the game, or was it before your time too?

Yes I do - I was 7 and watched it with my Dad - well in truth I was watching my Dad and the state of excitement he was in - on the basis of that had he lived I'm not sure he could have got through 2005 without being permanently sedated

I can certainly remember that much.

England v West Indies, 3rd ODI, Trent Bridge, 2007 (note the picture cuts off the other two slip fielders).

Ridiculous amount of fielders around the bat of a spinner is a cooler sight than 9 slips IMO

That photo reminded me of the super-aggressive field setting on Shane Warne Cricket on Playstation.

Haha, I don't remember that at all.

Picture is not the best, but I remember the whole team (aside from Gilchrist who was keeping wicket and Colin Millar who was bowling) standing around the bat to Colin Stuart.
