Pull Shot practice
Bowler lobs the ball so that it allows for the batter to hit acorss their body. Batter attempts to pull the shot between square leg and mid wicket. Aim to hit the ball past the fielders and in between the cones. Every successful attempt results in 4 runs scored. If the batter is caught out then runs can be taken off their score (batter can start on 16 runs, and try to add to the total). Change roles after 6 balls.
