Fielding Position: Gully

Position behind point square of the wicket — catches thick edges from the back-foot drive and slash (Tony Lock, Chris Gayle).

Modern fielding standards were rewritten by South Africa's Jonty Rhodes in the 1990s; the flat, one-bounce throw and sliding stop are now coached from junior level.

Wider crouch, hands ready, eyes on the bat — high catch share with point.

Used with new ball to seamers and against batters who play the cut shot square.
