11. This position of a fielder between Deep Mid Wicket and Wide Long is
so called because few 'legitimate' shots could be aimed to this part of the
field and hence fielders were rarely placed there.
This region of the field has been somewhat more frequented in the

to go for wild and risky shots to find ways to hit the ball to the boundary
even for yorker-length deliveries.
Which position am I talking about ?

suddenly started playing golf.
"I first started playing golf in December 1994. I remember this because I

yourself. You dream of improving every hole," he said.

between UEFA and the <country’s> Football Association.”

3. This cricketer played right handed before his coach asked him to play
left handed. Since then, he has developed himself as a left-handed
explosive batsman. However, in a Bangladesh Premier League match on
January 16 this year, he played right handed and hit Chris Gayle for a 6 and
a couple of 4s.
The cricketer later explained his change of mind by saying, “It was one of
those things at the back of my mind as I couldn't get Chris away because of
his height and the lengths that he was bowling. I play golf right-handed, so
I thought I might as well come and swing and clear the ropes. It came off.”
