Split the group into 2 equal groups.
1 team are the batters and the other side are the fielders.
Each player on the batting team has 3 attempts to strike either a ball off a T or a dropped ball between the cones.
The fielding team stand between the cones and the wall/ boundary. They have to gather the ball and throw it to their wicket keeper who returns the ball to the batter.
Batters can be caught or run out.
A run is scored if the ball passes between the cones.
3 runs are scored if the ball passes between the marker cones and the batter runs to the cone and back before the ball reaches the wicket keeper.
4 runs for if the ball hits the wall or goes over the boundary.
