Diamond Cricket/Continuous Cricket is played with 4 batsmen, 4 bowlers with all other players fielding. Set up the field as shown with 4 sets of stumps in a cross and statio a batsmen and a bowler at each of the stumps. Bowlers may only bowl to the stumps directly opposite them. Once a batsmen has hit the ball he must run anti clockwise. The easiest way to keep track of score while so many people are running is to focus on the batsmen who hit the ball and count the number of runs he gets. 1 run is awarded if all batsmen reach the stumps immediately to their right. If a player is called out he is not replaced rather the wicket goes against the teams score.for example a team who scored 26 runs and lost two wickets would have a score of 13 (runs / wickets = score). After a pre determined amount of time or bowls, the teams will swap. bowlers will become batsmen, batsmen will become fielders and fielders will become bowlers.
