Is there a ‘gully’ and a ‘point’ in a cricket ground?


Is there a ‘gully’ and a ‘point’ in a cricket ground?

Gully is a fielding position adjacent to slips. Point is on the ‘off side’, and is five or six yards from the batsman. Backward point is slightly behind the wicket on the offside. Similarly ‘deep point’ is farter from the batsman, and ‘silly point’ is close to the batsman.

Gully and point are considered key positions, especially in One day cricket matches
