Batting - 4 player rotation One player as batter, one as backstop, one as bowler and one as deep fielder. The aim is to give the batter five good balls and after they hit each one they have to try and get as far around the pitch as possible. If they don't hit the ball then that is npot included in the five good balls and is disregarded and you continue util they hit the ball.

How to make it harder: Try different bowling techniques eg. donkey drop. How to make it easier: Bowler comes closer to the batter.
