The Fifth Doctor settles down into a middle stump guard. (DW: Black Orchid)

Middle stump was a batting position in cricket. When playing for Charles Cranleigh's side, the Fifth Doctor once asked an umpire for a "middle stump" guard, then settled his position so as to cover the middle stump with his bat. (DW: Black Orchid) On other occasions, the Fifth Doctor seemed to prefer a middle and leg guard. (DWM: The Tides of Time; BFA: Autumn)
