Monty's tactical fielding

Has anyone else put their worst fielder at long leg and then instructed the bowler to bowl leg stump, so the batsman can hit a 4 to long leg and not keep the strike?

Inspiratational field placing and execution by England.

Why not just tell the fielders to let the ball go for 4 if you want to keep the tail ender on strike. Its better than banking on your worst fielder to make a mistake and let him look like a fool. I did something like that to keep the worse batsman on strike when 17 runs were needed off the last over. I misfielded and let them run two. Well it wasnt intentional but I'll take the credit for it.

Spirit of the game, you can't just watch the ball roll over the rope. You can however dive over the ball :p

Of course you do not want the opposition to know you did it purposely because then they wouldn't sneak in the extra run.
