8 students. 4 batting and bowling are a team, 4 fielding are a team. The bowler sends the ball to the batter and if the batter hits the ball, the batters decided whether or not to run. The bowler is sending the ball favourably. If the batter has not hit the ball after 2 balls from the bowler, the batter hits off the tee. Keep track of score. The batters can only run if the ball bounces and lands within the V of the cones. After 6 balls (an over), rotate.
Extension: have 6 against 2 the batters are on the same team and the bowling is no longer favourable for the batters. The batters can hit the ball wherever they like.

Green July pitches and a shiny Dukes mean the ball is talking. Here is how to coach your batters to survive the moving ball, trust their defence, and cash in once the shine has gone.
