What Is The Definition Of Leg Theory In Cricket?
1. A bowling tactic that involves aiming the ball at the leg side. This strategy assumes that by cramping the batsman with little room to play a shot, he or she will be more likely to make a mistake. While this strategy is being utilized, several close-in fielders are usually positioned on the leg side to catch the batsman out and prevent runs from being scored. Unfortunately for spectators, this can result in a relatively boring match since fewer runs are being scored. When high-speed deliveries are used, it is called bodyline or fast leg theory.
