Place a bin in the middle of a big circle marked out by cones (about 5m in diameter). Split the group into two teams, a batting team and a bowling team. 1 batsmen is allowed in the ring at a time, with all the other batters lined up elsewhere out of the way. Anyone in the bowling team can bowl from anywhere at any time provided that they do not enter the ring. Batters cannot get out on the first three balls. Everyball that is hit is one run if the ball reaches any fences or bulidings it is worth 4 runs. A batsmen is deemed out if a ball hit by them is caught on the full or if the ball hits the bin. The ball must be bowled, not thrown.
