Player starts behind the first 3 cones. Coach hits the ball into the first area, either left, middle or right. Coach can hit the ball high or low or with force or away from player. Player stops and or catches the ball and returns to coach. 6 balls of varying degree in each zone, then next player takes over.
Following on from previous drills. Player should be able to demonstrate catching at different heights, throwing back to the wickets, stopping the ball if hit firmly straight at them or running to intercept a ball. Coaches should vary speed and delivery of hit balls.
