Backward square leg whose quick, and a wide mid off work fine - might give a few singles down to fine leg, but generally most the grounds in the hard wicket comps are lush and slow so not much chance of it racing away for 4.
Besides don't always need to bowl at the stumps - build up a few overs of dots and blokes panic and throw their hands at anything.
Correct.
Another point, at the level I was playing, very few blokes are adept at playing the ball well off their legs. lol
