B23. Fielding Restrictions and the Placement of Fielders
(1) Two semi-circles are drawn on the field of play. The semi-circles have as their centres the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles is 25 metres. The ends of each semi-circle are joined to the other by a straight line drawn on the field on the same side of the pitch (to complete an oval shape)
(2) At the instant of delivery there shall not be more than five Fielders on the leg side.
(3) For the first 10 overs only of each innings, only two Fielders are permitted to be outside the fielding restriction circle.
(4) For the remaining overs of each innings only five Fielders are permitted to be outside the fielding circle at the moment of delivery.
(5) There shall be no requirement for stationary fielders.
take out 2 as that is crap
so you can have 9 on the off side if you want but are restricted to only 5 on the on side - what is that rule even trying to acheive
cant see to many captains instructing to bowl on leg stump especially considering it willbe a wide if it goes down leg side
