Fielding and bumpy outfields
Many of the clubs we play against aren't blessed with the luxury field that we get to play on ( :laugh and often you see some pretty bad mis-fields where the ball bobbles up\over\under the person trying to pick it up.
Anyone have ab advice or ideas to minimise this apart from getting as much of your body behind the ball as possible? We try to use the long barrier but that is not always effective, especially if you're after a quick pick up and throw. There is also the problem that some of the team aren't all that keen on taking a ball to the stomace or ribs, if it does pop up.
