Cricket: Roll Out, Collect and Throw

Time is valuable when fielding! Don't wait for the ball to come to you - get your players to attack the ball and be more assertive in the field

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, 2 intercepts and flicks at stump 2. 8 stops the ball and rolls it out towards 3, 5 then intercepts. After each throw, players run up the side and join the back of the queue.
Note: The person who starts the practice with the first throw stays where they are until the next turn, then they throw and run up the side.

Player 1 starts on the cone with the ball and rolls the ball out for player 2 to run in and intercept the ball with two hands.

Once player 1 has rolled the ball out to player 2 they then have to run behind the stumps to field the throw.

After throwing the ball behind the stumps player 2 then stands on the cone, receives the ball back from player 1 and the drill can start again.

Two teams pass the ball to their team mates with an overarm throw which must bounce only once and then must be caught.

Using the throws to advance towards the opposition's grid players must not step inside the grid. When they get close enough they can throw at the stumps. If they miss a team mate can run around the back of the stumps to catch the ball.

If caught that team can have another shot, if the opposition catch the ball they then move back up the field to the opposition's grid.
