Fielding Restrictions
The fielding team is not allowed to change the field on the free hit ball, if the same batsman (who received the original no ball) is on strike. However if the wicketkeeper is standing up at the stumps he is allowed to move back to a more traditional position for safety reasons.

Famous quotes containing the word fielding:
“Would mankind be but contented without the continual use of that little but significant pronoun “mine” or “my own,” with what luxurious delight might they revel in the property of others!... But if envy makes me sicken at the sight of everything that is excellent out of my own possession, then will the sweetest food be sharp as vinegar, and every beauty will in my depraved eyes appear as deformity.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
