'Fine square leg' and 'slips' are names for specific fielding positions. !thumbsup!

Could'nt stand Cricket when i was younger.I do admit that England's ashes success and the birth of 20/20 cricket in the UK has made me take to Cricket.

England are doing superb atm against South Africa.Looks like they've sorted out the bowling problems and Broad,Sidebottom and Monty are on top form.

Future world champions?
