Create a V-Shaped area out in front of the batter.
Working in groups of 6 players take it in turns to bowl, field and bat.
The batsman aims to strike the ball beyond the fielders using a front foot drive. The fielders must prevent the ball from getting past them.
Every time the batsman gets the ball beyond the fielders, within the coned are, they score a point.
Each batter gets a set number of balls and changes with another player after they have had their allocation of balls or when they are caught or bowled out.
Players aim to drive the ball successfully along the ground inside the V towards the target area (this area can be coned out).
This shows your players how to play an attacking shot off the front foot and score runs without getting out because the safest drives are the straightest ones.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
