fieldsman

The young fieldsman, heart plunging through his shoes, already knew exactly what was going on.

Then he goes the other way, hanging back a bit but timing his push well enough to split three fieldsmen and just beat the chasing Warner into the cover rope.

Bell is not a great slip fieldsman, but he is a wonderful short leg.

He is also one of the finest fieldsmen in Australian cricket and the energy he brings to his game is impressive.
