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.

This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.
Fielding placement in limited overs cricket is a tactical chess match that changes with every phase of the innings. This article breaks down how captains should set fields during the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs, and provides practical coaching sessions for developing game-aware fielders who anticipate rather than react.
