Revision as of 12:22, 8 June 2006
The names of cricket fielding positions are fantastically complicated, and I'd never come close to understanding them until I came across this. It's clear, it's ingenious (a red dot for the basic position, and yellow dots for variations), and it's actually pretty to look at. I can't vouch for its accuracy (the terms "long hit", "long stop" and "long leg" are new to me). Other than that it's just brilliant. Update: I should point out that it's used at fielding (cricket) and adds a lot of value to that article.

- Comment Can it be made bigger? When I click on the bigger pic I don't get a really big pic, I get a File Download menu. If I then select "Open" my computer says it doesn't know what SVG is (in Windows XP) and won't open it. In any case I don't suppose the downloaded pic would have been any larger than the last - Adrian Pingstone 08:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's an SVG - a vector graphic, which is perfect for diagrams - you can make it as large as you like. I don't know what freely available tools exist to edit with, but I can assure you its size is not an issue - in Firefox it expands to two screenwidths for me (and you don't lose detail by expanding further). I do notice the odd typo though, so if someone could edit it, it would be great (in particular "Closer" should be "closer" for case consistency in the legend). Stevage 08:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- For those who can't open SVG files, Adobe has a SVG viewer. I can't compare it with any other programs out there, but it's free, quick and easy. Raven4x4x 10:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
