Field the ball off

The drama began after Benn and Johnson collided as the batsman set off towards the wicketkeeper's end for a single and the giant spinner tried to field the ball off Haddin. As Johnson crossed Benn's path the bowler grabbed his arm and shirt, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.


Could you please explain to me what "off"means in this context?

I suppose that the ball bounced against Haddin first, but I know nothing about cricket.
