9 fielders in slips
Saurav Pathak
Australia and NewZealand, in which all the 9 fielders were in the slips.
Apparently Lillee was bowling to Glen Turner, and Marsh was keeping. Does
anyone know how this came about (the context). Must have been at a crucial
point in the match.
Also, has there been more instances of this: 9 fielders in the slips at the
Test level?
Thanks,
Saurav

This was only done for the purpose of getting a photo
for a book that Lillee was doing. From a book
I have he tried it in the first and third test
matches of that series, I can't remember which was at
Auckland. I think that it was the third. It also
looked like both times the games were heading for
draws. Also, I don't think that it was Glen Turner
but rather a middle order/tailend batsman.
No matter what the situation of the game, or the bowler
I can't imagine having 9 players in the slips,
particularly to someone like Glen Turner. It would
just be too easy to score heaps of runs at a very low risk.
Fast bowlers hate giving away easy runs.

fielders in slips is just too much. I mean, Pat Simcox in an M&S silk and
polyester with lace around the hem? Alec Stewart in a strappy number with a
scalloped neckline? Jonty Rhodes in a teen sport version with hold-up cups?
The title of this thread brought on the weirdest images. It's a bit like
saying All-blacks in tutus ;-)

Actually Linda All Blacks in drag is not an uncommon sight. Do you think it
was a co-incidence that Auckland was in Australia last weekend when the gay
Mardi Gras was on? I think not.

It could be Ewen Chatfield as he was involved in an incident like
this.

Is this a post meant for a baseball group? For the second time(since I have been
counting anyways), there are no batters in cricket. Only batsmen or batswomen.

It was a gimmick, as I understand it, Lillee was releasing some sort of
"book", and he wanted such a picture to put on the cover. The match was
certainly NOT at a vital stage, heading for a boring draw.

Australia won early on the 4th morning of a 5-day match.
Where do some posters get their information from????
The incident took place late on the third afternoon after it had looked as though the game would finish that
day.
Yes, it was for a book - why do you say <some sort of "book"> ?
Lillee was bowling to Petherick. I was there.

P TEKUMALLA) decided to opine:
Tha'll not have watched much cricket at Headingley, then. Tha'll hear
plenty of folk talking about batters in t'Football Stand bar oop
theer. Meaning them as laik at cricket, not what covers t'fish from
t'chippie oop St Michael's Lane.
It might be expected that similar dialectal forms would be observed
across the Pennines, but in Lancashire the use of 'batter' to refer to
anything but flour-based fish coatings is considered archaic,
following the publication of Jack Simmons' 8-volume "The Taxonomy and
Evolution of Batters 1594-1973", which traces the development of this
crucial element in the fish supper. (It must be said that it is a very
stodgy work, and contains little of interest for the cricketing
reader, apart from the analysis of the famous poem "At Lord's", which
turns out to be a disquisition on the declining quality of southron
batter, recalling with nostalgia the crispness of the batter on the
haddock at Hornby & Barlow's Fish Shop, 200 yards from the Stretford
End and much admired by no less a person than AC Maclaren.)

Hope you aren't still wondering why I say "book".

Typically books are written by the person whose name is on the cover. In the
case of books written by cricketers, this is either not the case, or the book
is so badly written as to not constitute a book, rather a "book".

Good on you champ.

I know I'm not really qualified to speak on their behalf but most of the
women players I've met refer to "batsmen". They are generally not
politically correct! I suspect they'd hate batters too!!
Only concessions to the different sex that you normally hear are ..
"12th" for 12th man (and that's not invariable - I've heard 12th man
quite frequently) and "Player of the Match".

Somehow, "batters" does seem much more innocuous than batswomen who cut
balls down to a deep thirdwoman.

Yes, but I've always waited for the day when someone says "deep
thirdwoman" or "deep thirdperson" :-).

I think it had something to do with a cover photo for a book written by
Greg Chappell, who was the Australian captain at the time. Can't recall
the title of the book, may well have been something like "The 100th
Summer", seeing as it was at the end of the 1976-77 season. I'm pretty
sure the batsman was Ewan Chatfield.
