Hitting a Target
DESCRIPTION
The practice should be setup as shown. Have one player as a wicket keeper and another as fielder. The bowlers take it in turns to bowl, with the fielder calling if the ball was a good line (pitched in the cones) or a good length (pitched level with the red hoop). If the ball pitches in the hoop then the ball is both a good line and length.

A good length is where the batsman is unsure whether to go forwards or back and therefore gets caught in two minds. This will differ depending on the pitch, batter and conditions.
