Start clock as the first ball is fed to the fileder, with flat catch to fielder standing in circle; throw back to feeder (+0.5 secs if throw misses feeder) Player then runs to any cone and throws at stump (-0.5 secs if direct hit;. -0.5 if miss PUGG) Run back to the circle to receive second catch (+0.5 if drop catch) and return throw to feeder Repeat at next cone and throw at stump Continue until thrown all 4 balls at cones and received 5 catches - drill finishes with the 5th catch in the circle and clock stops. Include all deductions or additions in time. The lowest time is better - reward for hits and catches; add ons for drops and missed throws.
