Yeah ****ing awesome stat.

Even more so when you consider he's not averaging massively over 50 overall. A guy averaging 58+ doing it is much more easy to see than one averaging 52. Really good measure of consistency.

Clarke put one of his tallest guys in that position just saying. It was clear to me that he intended to distract the batsmen and is quite simply a cheat. It is only because he is loved that he's escaping abuse.

Vine link Right behind the bowler's arm.

The rule says that you cannot have more than two fielders on the onside behind the popping crease other than the wicket keeper, the fielders cannot have any significant movements, and they cannot cause distraction to the batsman deliberately.

Law 42.4 does state:

Deliberate attempt to distract striker

It is unfair for any fielder deliberately to attempt to distract the striker while he is preparing to
receive or receiving a delivery.

In my many years of watching cricket, I have not seen a field placement like this. It clearly is in the batsman's vision and would be distracting to the batsmen. Why have the sight screen at all. I won't be convinced this is in the spirit of the game.

The umpire should move then. He's behind the bowler's arm and clearly a distraction.

So can Harris come back already? (I know he is still out recovering)

I'd even take some twatto reverse at this point

He can be if you bowl close to the stumps and over.

Nah. The bowlers bowl over arm and as the arm is raised and the umpire is standing a few feet away, even when the bowler is bowling close to the stumps, the umpire doesn't come in the vision of the bowler's release.

And the fieldsman in question was?

The fieldsman was in an area where he could be in batsman's vision. This is why, standing those positions is not done.
