I remember a one-day game at Hurstville Oval.
St George was batting first and one of our openers was a very attacking batter. In the early stage of his career, he liked to hit more boundaries than singles especially in a 50 over game.
The opposing captain set a 7/2 field in the first over including 2 slips, third man, point, deep cover, short cover and mid-off.
On the leg side was a mid-on and fine leg with plenty of open and inviting space.
The bowler played his role perfectly with the first ball being outside off stump through to the keeper. The second ball was well pitched up on off stump and our opener eyes lit up as he played across the line to the open space and was out LBW.
A clearly well thought out plan and terrific risk v reward captaincy.
