That memory never left George Nissen of Iowa, who went on to tumbling and diving exploits while in high school. The sports gave him same opportunity for artistic touches and freedom of movement, although they ended either on a hard floor, or in water.

Still, when Nissen graduated at age of 16, he took some time off before university, to start tinkering in his garage with idea that had been simmering in his mind since that visit to circus- a bouncing "table", that would put him back up into air.

When fielding during cricket there are many things to think about and consider depending on where you are fielding. This brief article will look at a few essential cricket fielding tips which you can incorporate into your game to improve your fielding.

Where ever you are fielding you should always be on balls of your feet so you can react and change direction quickly. If you are caught flat footed you’ll be slower off mark and potentially give away more runs.

Try to anticipate where ball will go; you can do this by carefully watching batters shape and movements. This may be a little difficult at first but after a bit of practise will become second nature and you’ll react much quicker to any shots coming your way and field better as a result.

When you are fielding close to boundary and have to throw from deep, try to aim your throw just above keepers head and ball should drop nicely in to his gloves, provided you have a relatively strong throwing arm.
