Explain why, a cricket player moves his hands backwards while catching a fast cricket ball.

उत्तर
By moving the hand backwards, a fielder increases the time of action of the force on his hands. When the time increases, the force reduces and the chances of the fielder getting hurt and dropping the ball decreases.
