What is a "gully"?
In cricket, a gully is a fielding position located behind the batter, on the side of the field. The player in the gully stands close to where the batter is trying to hit the ball, ready to catch it if the batter accidentally hits it lightly in that direction. This position is important for catching balls that are difficult for the batter to hit but might go to the side instead of straight ahead. The fielder in the gully helps the team by trying to catch these balls to get the batter out.
