A ball is placed on top of a set of stumps or a tall cone. Bowlers take it in turns to aim to knowck the larger ball off. Once a successful hit occurs bowler and wicketkeeper swap positions. When a player returns for their second go the larger ball is replaced with a medium sized ball which is replaced with a smaller ball again. The density of teh balls can be modified to develop a strong and powerful bowl.
Ensure correct technique is used when bowling and assist thebowlers on developing their accuracy while bowling.
