This conditioned game is good for developing your batters decision making skills but also your fielders team hunting skills. The bowler bowls 12 consecutive balls to the batter who can aim for targets set on the field to gain points. The bowls should be bowled as soon as the batter assumes the ready position meaning no longer then a ball a minute. The fielders in turn have to communicate and retrieve tha balls with speed before then next ball is lofted or driven their way. As the balls are passed back to the wicket keeper they shall place them in a bucket for the next set of bowls.
Teach the batter to recieve a wide range of shots in a small amount of time while encouarging the fielding team to get the balls in and back to the wicket keeper or bowler with speed.
