This drill is designed to enhance calling ability of batters either during indoor games or for quick singles outdoors.
Coach will feed the ball into outfield into space. Nearest fielder will give chase, collect the ball and return to either wicket.
Batters will need to judge whether to run, and call appropriately, either YES, NO, or WAIT.
Batters keep their own score, rotate around when out or have been in for 5 balls.
Focus batters on judging where the ball is, and who's call it is.
Remind batters that loud consistent calling is important.

The covers are on and the last tea has been served. What your club does between now and April decides how the next season starts. Here is a simple, honest winter plan for players, bowlers and juniors.
August is when seasons are decided, and most club games are lost chasing rather than setting. Give your batters a framework for the chase and you win the close ones.
