Top 5: Reasons why the silly point is the best fielding position in Cricket

#2 Doubting if there was a nick? Silly point is the man to go to

He knows the DRS call even before it is up on the Big Screen

The silly point fielder is the captain's best man and the bowler’s too. He knows if that close leg before shout is worth reviewing or if that ugly swat from the batsman got a nick through to the keeper. Yes, he even heard it like a whistle when others hardly heard a whisper.

He very well knows if that a not-out decision for caught behind is going to be overturned. He has started celebrating already. No snickometer or hotspot needed. When in doubt about a review, always ask the silly point fielder.

A keeper is behind the batsman and rarely gets the view that a fielder at silly point gets. With DRS set to take over the umpiring world by storm, the role of the silly point gets even more crucial. Keep your eyes and ears wide open, buddy.
