Set up in groups as shown: one batsman, one wicket keeper, one feeder and one or two fielders.
Mark out the V area with chalk or cones, approximately 4-5 metres wide.
The batsmen has to try and hit the ball between the cones to score runs, if they do they get one run, if not, they lose two runs.
For more talented players move the marker on the off side further in, to make the V narrower.
This practice should ideally be completed in the nets.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
