Hi, this is Ash on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I will show you how to field
a ball. Let's see how to field a ball. Once the ball is coming at you at the ground level,
you bend down like this. So if you observe here, make sure your leg is touching your
foot here. This is to ensure you're going to get your whole body behind it. So that
there is no gap between both your feet. So once the ball travels to you, even at higher
speeds, there is a position surrounded by your body. Now this is how your palms should
look like. This is also the position you catch, so you bring both your hands together and
field the ball, and close your palms. The body, your foot, and your leg here, helps
prevent in case your hands miss it. The ball might kind of hit either your foot or your
leg and you still are maybe able to save a lot of runs. So you hold the ball, and once
you've got the ball in your hands, you throw the ball towards the stumps. Let's see this
in action. That's a typical way to field the ball.
