P1 stands in the middle of the cones. P2 calls a colour. P1 moves towards cone sideways with feet coming together (ie not crossing) and then back to middle.
Swap after 1 minute.
Step 2
Same exercise but this time P1 crosses legs while moving (eg right foot moves to behind left foot before left foot moves out).
Step 3
Each time player gets to the middle, P2 to throw a catch.
Helps players to be light on their feet. Helps with batting and fielding, to get movement / coordination of footwork.
Keep head level and always looking at P2.
P2 to throw catch before player gets into position to practise moving for a catch.
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.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
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.
