Cricket: Batter vs 2 handed pick up and throw

How's your arm? Give all your players the best answer around and see them fizz it back into the stumps!

When the batsman (1) calls Yes the coach rolls the ball towards the fielder stood by the stumps.

Fielder (1) runs across, picks up the ball and then tries to run out the batsmen.

Repeat with the next fielder and batsman.

Each batting team has a certain number of wickets (eg. 3 wickets). The teams change over once the batting side have lost all their wickets.

1. Player 1 starts on the middle cone, and aims to collect all 4 balls in as quickly as possible. Player must go out to retrieve the ball and back to the middle, before moving onto next cone.
2. Once all the balls have been collected in, player then reverses the drill, putting all the balls back out onto the cones.
3. Player 1 has now finished set 1, and returns to the back of the queue to recover. Player 2 begins and so on...

Players perform 3 sets each and then change over.

The player at the front of the 2 players runs to the middle to collect the ball on the cone and roll it to the player on the opposite side.

This player collects the ball and runs to the middle to put the ball on the cone.

The next player then runs to collect the ball and rolls the ball for next player waiting.

The batsman calls 'yes' to start the drill and tries to run 2 lengths whilst the fielder (player 1) runs out to meet the stationary ball, picks it up and throw it back to the wicket keeper (thus trying to run out the batter).

The coach decides which team has won and both players return to the back of their respective lines.

Drill continues in this way.
