Cricket: Survival Game

Do your team know what to do after a sudden collapse of wickets during an innings? Teach your batters to recover and rebuild!

Two teams with the coach bowling.

All batters have 4 balls. Each wicket that falls means that team loses four runs.

Catch after 1 bounce = out.

Players bat until they are out but must retire at 20 runs (optional). Runs are only awarded if the ball is played through the cones. If the ball is wide, or left, then the batter may have another ball.

10-12 players are needed for singles cricket and players should pair up so that they can bat and bowl in pairs.

Each pair has 1-2 wickets, once these have been used those players are out.

The rules change depending on how many runs are scored. If the batsmen have scored between 0 and 15 runs they are allowed 3 good balls in which they must hit the ball and run, otherwise lose a wicket.

If they have scored between 15-30 runs the batsmen have 2 good balls in which they must hit the ball and run, otherwise lose a wicket.

Above 30 runs you must play hit and run, regardless of how the ball comes.

Above 40 runs the batsmen are awarded a bonus, if not out, of 10 runs and then they must retire.

Partners stand opposite each other and throw a ball back and forth, trying to see how many catches they can make in a given time (e.g. 1 minute).

For groups of 3-6 people, with one player feeding. Feeder delivers 20 good feeds over arm, or until he gets a player out.
Each Batter has 3-4 deliveries then they run to back of que and rotate around.

Competition: The batter can choose to leave the ball or defend it through cones. If the ball goes into the air the batter is out. If you defend and hit the ball back through the cones you can call \"YES\" and run. If the ball doesnt go through the cones then you stay in batting unitl out of goes. (Target of 30 runs per group)
