Because cricket is a very funny game

Cricket -Field Placings
By Ruskin Bond

Long leg has a cramp in one leg,
Short leg has a cramp in two;
Twelfth man is fielding at mid-off,
Because mid-on's gone off to the loo.
As short leg has a long leg
Long-off has been moved further off;
Silly-point goes back to gully
Cover-point backs off a pace or two.
Every one is thinking of the drinks' trolley
When first slip lets a catch through his fingers,
Forgetting the old ball is now new.
