Playing front foot drive on the bonus

Player 2 throws. Each batsman has 3 consecutive balls, then goes to the back of the queue. If you leave a ball you get another go. The ball should be a slow high underarm feed.

Each batter gets 6 feeds. Drill is best done in nets where available (2 grounds per net in opposite directions). Can be done in pairs/ groups of three with 6 tennis balls per group. The feeder bobble feeds the ball towards the batter who aims to drive the ball through the target cones. Encourage players to wear at least batting gloves when doing this drill.

Each time ball is driven through cones you score 2 and you do not run. If defended, you score 1 and must run 2. If you miss the target you stay at that end for another delivery. In 1st net each individual batsmen runs to marked point and then back. Set Targets for each net (eg. 1 wicket left with 30 runs needed). When out second time your score returns to 0. Any shots into the air means you are out.
