OFTEN USED WITH...

Two Handed interception + Backing up:

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.

Keeper vs. Fielders: Pick up and thrown:

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.

Two Handed Interception and Throw.:

4 to 8 players per group.

Player 1 rolls the ball out, while player two meets the ball and throws it to the passer who is now stood behind the stumps.

Player 2 now runs to player 1's original starting place and repeats the drill with the next player in the line.

Ground fielding and throwing

Two handed pick up and throw for 8-10 players minimum:

See how many consecutive catches the Wicket Keeper can take before he has to move or the ball bounces. If this happens put score back to 0.
This can be done against another group, i.e. first to 15 catches without keeper moving.
