	Fielding (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fielding in the sport of cricket is what fielders do to collect the ball when it is struck by the batsman, in such a way as to either limit the number of runs that the batsman scores or get the batsman out by catching the ball in flight or running the batsman out.
		Many factors govern the decisions on field placements, including: the tactical situation in the match; which bowler is bowling; how long the batsman has been in; the wear on the ball; the state of the wicket; the light; or even how close you are to an interval in play.
		No member of the fielding side other than the wicket-keeper may wear gloves or external leg guards, though fielders (in particular players fielding near to the bat) may also wear shin protectors, groin protectors ('boxes') and chest protectors beneath their clothing.

	Henry Fielding
		Henry Fielding is regarded as one of the greatest artists among English novelists of the eighteenth century and was instrumental in the emergence of the novel as a respected literary form.
		During this period, Fielding's situation was less than enviable: he continued to have financial difficulties, his health began to fail him as a result of his excesses, and his wife was often ill. In 1744 Charlotte died in Bath of a fever.
		The Victorian novel is primarily in the tradition of Fielding, and the twentieth century novel primarily in the tradition of Richardson.

		And, hey, Fielding's narrator works for a publishing company so there's lots of talk about books in Bridget Jones's Diary, and she borrowed the plot from Jane Austen (no word yet on when she'll be giving it back), so there's your highbrow literary connection right there.

		Fielding: Well, sometimes I write travelogues for Conde Nast, and I wrote a piece for the Telegraph about the tour, which was me instead of Bridget.

	Indian cricket and fielding coach issue - is fielding training required?
		Well, if a side is particularly weak in fielding and lets matches slip just because of lopsidedness in blocking balls, catching them and effecting run outs, then it makes sense to have a coach just for fielding, otherwise it just gives a former cricketer another post-retirement option.
		Fielding is something that should be taught when you’re a kid and not after you have made it to the national team.
		India is unlikely to go for a fielding coach even though it lacks in fielding skills but there has often been talk of appointing a bowling coach.
