Use a coach or child as a feeder or just use the wicket keper as a feeder. There is one batter and everyone else spreads out around the two sets of stumps. The batter stands opposite the feeder. If you have a large group split into to games The feeder rolls the ball out to any of the fielders. The fielder runs in picks up the balls and throws to the wicket keeper or to hit the stumps The better has to Start running when the feeder lets go of the ball (for lesser abilities the batter can be dleayed slightly or start when the fielder gets to the ball). 1 way to keep the players roatating is for the batter to swap with the wicket keeper and the person that fields the ball becomes the batter.
Make sure we dont loose focus and forget technique when appraoching the ball Dont rush the throw, an accurate throw is better Could you use an underarm throw to be quicker?
