In cricket, part of the field of play
The leg side, or on side, is defined to be a particular half of the field used to play the sport of cricket. It is the side of the field that corresponds to the batsman's non dominant hand, from their perspective. From the point of view of a right handed batsman facing the bowler, it is the left hand side of the cricket field (being to the bowler's right). With a left handed batsman the on side is to the batsman's right (and to the bowler's left). A cricket field is notionally divided into two halves, by an imaginary line running down the long axis of the pitch. In normal batting stance, the striking batsman stands side on to the bowler. The leg side is the half of the field behind the batsman. The half of the field in front of him is called the off side. In the picture, the bowler is bowling from the bottom half of the image, the right handed batsman (S), facing him sideways on, has his legs more on the right side of the picture, the leg side. If the ball goes down that side of the pitch it will be "on" the batsman's legs, the on side. The definition is relative to the batsman. If the batsman were to directly face the bowler, the leg side would be:
on the left side for a right handed batsman, but
on the right side for a left handed batsman. The leg side is usually less well defended with fielders than the off side, because of the typical line of attack of the bowlers, which is frequently on or outside off stump. This makes it more difficult to hit the ball to the leg side because it involves swinging the bat across the line of the ball, which can lead to mishits and catches. While the terms "leg side" and "on side" can refer to an entire half of the field, each term is often used to denote only part of this half. When the batsman plays the ball into this half in front of the wicket, it is usually said that the ball has been played to the on side. However, when the ball is played into the region level with or behind the wicket, it is said that the ball has been played to the leg side. The names of fielding positions often include the words "leg" or "on", and they reflect this convention. For example, fine leg is located behind the wicket, whereas mid on is located in front of it. When the batsman steps backwards from his normal batting stance on the crease as the ball is bowled, he is said to be moving towards the leg side.

Лег-сайд, или он-сайд, определяется как определенная половина поля, используемая в игре в крикет. Это та сторона поля, которая соответствует не ведущей руке бэтсмена, с его точки зрения. С точки зрения правши, стоящего лицом к боулеру, это левая сторона крикетного поля (то есть справа от боулера). Для левши он-сайд находится справа от бэтсмена (и слева от боулера). Крикетное поле условно разделено на две половины воображаемой линией, проходящей вдоль длинной оси питча. В обычной стойке для отбивания, бэтсмен стоит боком к боулеру. Лег-сайд – это половина поля позади бэтсмена. Половина поля перед ним называется офф-сайд. На рисунке боулер подает мяч с нижней половины изображения, правша (S), стоящий к нему боком, имеет ноги больше на правой стороне изображения – на лег-сайде. Если мяч летит в эту сторону поля, он будет "на" ногах бэтсмена, то есть на он-сайде. Определение относительно бэтсмена. Если бы бэтсмен смотрел прямо на боулера, лег-сайд был бы:

Лег-сайд обычно менее защищен полевыми игроками, чем офф-сайд, из-за типичной траектории атаки боулеров, которая часто направлена на или за пнями. Это затрудняет удар по мячу на лег-сайд, поскольку требует замаха битой поперек траектории мяча, что может привести к неточным ударам и перехватам. Хотя термины "лег-сайд" и "он-сайд" могут относиться ко всей половине поля, каждый термин часто используется для обозначения лишь ее части. Когда бэтсмен играет мяч в эту половину поля перед калиткой, обычно говорят, что мяч был сыгран на он-сайд. Однако, когда мяч играется в область на уровне или за калиткой, говорят, что мяч был сыгран на лег-сайд. Названия позиций полевых игроков часто включают слова "лег" или "он", что отражает эту условность. Например, файн-лег находится за калиткой, а мид-он – перед ней. Когда бэтсмен отступает от своей обычной стойки на кризе во время подачи мяча, говорят, что он движется к лег-сайду.

Сравнение с бейсболом
Поскольку сторона ног включает в себя половину поля позади бэтсмена, для правши это примерно соответствует половине бейсбольного поля, включающей левое поле и третью базу. Для левши сторона ног соответствует половине, включающей правое поле и первую базу. Таким образом, удар в сторону ног визуально аналогичен "пуллу" в бейсболе (хотя, поскольку вся играемая территория в бейсболе находится перед бэтсменом, "он" более точно соответствовал бы этой части поля). И наоборот, "офф" аналогичен удару в "противоположное поле" в бейсболе.
Since the leg side comprises the half of the field behind the batsman, with a right handed batsman it is roughly analogous to the half of the baseball field that includes left field and third base. With a left handed batsman, the leg side is analogous to the half that includes right field and first base. Thus hitting to the leg side is directly visually analogous to "pull" hitting in baseball (though since all fair territory in baseball is forward of the batter, "on" would more exactly match this area of the field). Conversely, off is analogous to baseball's "opposite field" hitting.
