Cricket: One Day Singles Cricket

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony

DESCRIPTION

10-12 players are needed for singles cricket and players should pair up so that they can bat and bowl in pairs.

Each pair has 1-2 wickets, once these have been used those players are out.

The rules change depending on how many runs are scored. If the batsmen have scored between 0 and 15 runs they are allowed 3 good balls in which they must hit the ball and run, otherwise lose a wicket.

If they have scored between 15-30 runs the batsmen have 2 good balls in which they must hit the ball and run, otherwise lose a wicket.

Above 30 runs you must play hit and run, regardless of how the ball comes.

Above 40 runs the batsmen are awarded a bonus, if not out, of 10 runs and then they must retire.

COACHING POINTS

Scoring:

Boundary hits = 2 runs.

Overthrow = 4 runs if the ball goes over boundary

The winners are the pair with the most runs.

Chasing down a total - Batting under pressure

Create a belief amongst your batsmen and get them all on the same page so that when they come out into the middle, they chase down the total with confidence.

Junior Elements: Developing Throwing and Catching

Encourage your players to push themselves and improve their hand eye coordination in this learning through play session!

Rebuilding an Innings after a collapse

Do your team know what to do after a sudden collapse of wickets during an innings? Teach your batters to recover and rebuild!

Pre Season: Preparing your Batters with time in the middle

Give your batters some much needed middle time batting on grass; a chance to adjust to the pace and bounce of the wicket after a winter of playing indoors!

OFTEN USED WITH...

One Day Netting:

In two nets you have one devoted to spin bowling and the other to seam. With 6 people in each net you will have two batsmen and 4 bowlers. Spend 12/15 mins in each net alternating between the two. For the batsmen after every 3rd ball struck they have to run and swap with their partner who is at the other end. For shorter periods of time, make it either every shot swap or every other shot, or give a time period to bat.

Conditioned games

One day nets - Bowling challenge:

Set up two nets with 4-6 players assigned to each. Each net has a different type of bowler (spin, fast, leg etc.)

Each batsman gets 12-15 minutes in the nets, they must play the ball back towards the bowler.

On the 3rd ball they have to run up to a marked point on the net and then back to the crease again.

Survival Game:

Organisation: Divide the group into groups of 8-10 and organise as shown in the diagram. Each batter bats until dismissed by being bowled, caught directly or after one bounce or by lbw. Batter may leave or play defensively. Any attacking stroke used results in immediate dismissal for safety reasons. Fielders must keep a safe distance from the bat.

Equipment: 1 bat and 1 tennis ball per group. 1 set of stunps. Chalk markings

Conditioned games

Pick up on turn and throw to run out station:

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.
