1 point is given for every successful call of leave.
5 points are deducted if ball hits the stumps.
2 points are deducted if batsman plays the ball so softly that it does not roll beyond the line drawn 4 metres from the wicket.
Groups rotate after 5 attempts each. Winner is the one with the most points.

N.B. An overarm throw will be necessary for this practice.
Equipment: 1 bat and 1 tennis ball per group. 1 set of stumps. Chalk markings / Cones
