Agility over 10-20 metres between poles. From black cone, sprint towards coach - field it and throw back to mitt. Continue around pole (blue) and run towards next feeder - flat catch (blue line) and throw back to mitt. Finally run U-shape around pole and field green ball which is thrown at PUGG. New player starts drill. Use 1-5 or 1-6 ratio of work/rest.

3. Long arms in flat catch - preparation of hands.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.

Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
