Fair use is claimed as the 9 slip cordon field (max in cricket) is a very rare occurrence. For the last time this was happened in an ODI series between Australia and Zimbabwe – a classic case of ruthless extermination, if there was one. In the second match of the series at Harare on 23rd October, 1999, with Damien Fleming bowling to David Mutendra (No. 11 batsman), Steve Waugh decided to try his mental disintegration and packed the slip cordon with 9 fielders.

This was the first and to date only time that such a field setting has been employed in ODI cricket
