Well, I dunno what grade cricket match you're watching, Faldo, but y'sure don't be throwin' no ball to silly point to run someone out. Y'd be throwin' it to the wicket keeper, who might then throw it to the bowler at the other end. I'm guessin' if silly point was in there, he'd be in trouble for some kind of obstruction or gettin' smacked around the head by wickie for gettin' in the way!
Yeahbut. If the fieldsman at silly mid on got smacked in the head by the ball, he could wind up anywhere on the field. Not inconceivable that he might recover in time to scoop the ball up and dismiss the non-striker if that worthy was out of his crease, provided that he wasn't dodging a woozy silly mid on fieldsman, no? Or, of course, they may be playing some arcane American form of cricket where there are extra wickets at silly point, silly mid on, in the gully, the slips or anywhere else that takes their fancy!
