The wicket keeper rolls the ball out around the side of the stumps.
Fielders run from the left first, then right (then left...) to receive the ball and throw it back over the top of the stumps.
Competition:
An opposition wicket keeper rolls 5 balls out to try and score goals past the opposition's line of fielders. The winners are the ones who stop the most balls.
Variation:
The first team to throw 10 throws straight over the top of the stumps without the wicket keeper having to move, wins.
