Twitter reacts to Finland placing 8 slip fielders on the first ball of the innings vs England XI
In a European Cricket League match Finland fast bowler Amjad Sher had eight slip fielders in place for the first ball of the innings against England XI. A fielder at leg-slip was also placed as all 13 players, including 2 batsmen, were visible in one frame and no one could be seen in the outfield.
The most intriguing thing you will see today
Just one normal day of European Championship Cricket 🙏

More baffled to realising Finland had a cricket team

Strategically adept
Why would they do that? Psychological? It worked clearly, though I'm more impressed that Finland have a cricket team

People are seeing the funny side
I'd jokingly do field set-ups like this on Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2005, but never did I think I'd see it in real life.

To the Finland cricket team, I take my hat off to you.
True
This team did such a game in fielding, even the big captains will fail, whoever saw it, was surprised. Finland Cricket Team deploys 8 Fielders in slips, leaves everyone surprised
