Cricket: Cross over underarm flick

4 to 8 players per group.

1. Player 1 rolls the ball out to player 2 who shys at the stumps, meanwhile player 1 has moved behind the stumps (backing up), ready to collect the ball.
   
   
2. Player 2 then runs to player 1's original position.
   
   
3. Player 1 then throws the ball to players 2.
4. Player 1 now joins back of other group on the opposite side.

Group B do exactly the same.

Player 1 rolls the ball out for player 3 to intercept before throwing to the Wicketkeeper. The coach then throws a catch to player 2. Player 3 takes up the position of player 1 and then goes to the back of the queue.

8-10 players per group (set up two drills if coaching a large group)

Set up: Player/coach stands between the two stumps, that are 20 meters apart (length of a wicket). One cone is placed 25m in front of the two stumps, in line with the coach and two cones are placed 2m ahead of these, acting as a 'gate' for the players to walk through when it is their go.

Two further cones are placed 10m behind the two target stumps, where players will be backing up.

The coach will name one end the bowler's end and the other stump the keepers end.

Let's play:

1. First player walks through the two cones as the coach rolls the ball out. As the coach rolls the ball, they must shout either "bowler's" or "keeper's".
2. The player must then process this instruction, make the decision, and throw the ball accordingly.
3. The player on the cone backs the ball up and returns it to the coach. The player who has just thrown then replaces the player who backed the ball up, and the player who was backing up moves around the outside of the drill and joins the back of the queue of players.

Drill is continuous.

6-12 people needed.

1. Player (6) starts by rolling the ball out to (5) who runs in and throws ball to the (WK).
2. Coach now throws (5) a flat catch as he runs towards the stumps where (6) was feeding from.
3. (6) now joins back of queue.
