Set up 4 stations with equal numbers at each. The idea of the drill is that players work with diagonal 'opposite' teamates.
Players 1 retireves the ball first and player 3 runs out to the stumps to back up the throw.
Let's play:
After 6 repetitions the two groups will swap ends.
Ensure direct throws are at base of the stump and that throws into other team members must be as close to over the top of the stumps as possible.
Drill best done with netting behind (for direct throw), or fielding net. If not possible. Alternatively a member of team 3 or 4 can back up the single stump.
Progression:
Coach can vary the difficulty of feed to the players.
Players can take it in turn to back up direct hit throw (either team 3 or 4 could do this).
