Cricket: Serve and Drive

Description

Organisation: Divide the group into groups of 5. Organise the group as shown in the diagram. The server serves the ball overarm from a kneeling position onto target, after batter shouts 'ready'. The target to be bowled at is positioned in line with middle stump 2-3 metres in front of batter. A wicket keeper is placed behind the batter not too close to the batter.

Equipment: 1 tennis ball and 1 bat per group. 2 marker cones. Chalk marking.
