Changes for this version:

The idea is to provide something to print and keep near the score
book to enable comments regarding field positions to be added.

1. Converted to post script and Corel Draw for editing;

2. Removed all ‘alternate’ fielding positions, leaving the most
common positions;
3. A version for black and white print;
4. A version for Left and Right handed batsman;
5. Some symbols changed to enhance contrast in print and on
screen.
6. Print size is approximately European A1. The print will reduce
to A4 and still retain reasonable clarity. Your vision may vary
(sic).
