Giving Fielders the Recognition They Deserve
In traditional paper scorebooks, a fielder's name was barely legible next to a batter's dismissal, and season fielding tallies were rarely compiled. Yet in amateur and club cricket, a sharp catch at backward point or a direct-hit run-out from square leg can turn a certain loss into a victory.
