4 groups, set up 2 sets of cones - scoring system for hitting a straight drive through the cones: through central pair = 5 points; between inner and outer cones = 1; outside cones = 0
Face 10 balls each and swap with other players drop feeding the balls and fielding off the wall (balls hit into the wall)
Balance based: 2 sets - set up on a stump base (be aware of weight distribution) and then start in batting stance and move into the stance to hit the ball
