Top 10 Best Current Cricket Fielders 2013

Cricket is among the world’s most renowned games, the origin of cricket is from England, and this game started in the 16^th century and has a very strong history. Cricket is other words is a legend itself and this legend has given birth to many other legends in the face of some extraordinary brilliant cricket players including batsman, bowler and fielder. A cricket match is played between 2 teams and each team is based on 11 members, every team bats turn wise, 2 batsman of a team are on the field initially and when all the batsmen of a team are dismissed, it’s the turn for the next team to bat. While the members of one time are at the batting position, one member of the opposing team serves as a bowler who delivers the ball while the rest of the players fulfill their role as a fielder.

The responsibility of the fielders is to catch the ball as soon as the batsman hits it in order to stop him from making runs. Other than that fielder has the power to dismiss a batsman, when the batsman hits the ball and if the fielder is able to catch the ball with it being touching the even once then the batsman is automatically dismissed. If the fielder is able to hit the wicket with the ball and the batsman is not inside the crease then also he gets dismissed.

The role of a fielder is as important as of a batsman or a bowler. If any team has strong fielding abilities then they can easily turn the tables because when the bowler has bowled and batsman has hit the ball, the fielder is some` one who can stimulate or manipulate the performance of any batsman or bowler. Cricket history is filled with examples of those matches which were won only on the basis of marvelous fielding. The main postulate of the fielding criteria is that if you have 3 – 4 spell bounding fielders than you easily win a game, all the members of the team do not have to be excelled in fielding, few will easily do the job.  In the cricket world we have many superb fielders, the top 10 best fielders of the year 2013 are:
