Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with...

Horatius, Cricket Coach

DESCRIPTION

1) picks up the ball and must throw over the top of the stumps so the ball rebounds straight between the two cones. He stops the rebound and replaces the ball on the spot and then 2) repeats. First team to get 10 rebounds through the cones wins. If a ball goes outside the line of cones your score goes back to 0.
Variation:- do not replace the ball, but when the ball hits the wall No 2) goes, and so on.

Two Handed interception + Backing up:

Player 1 starts on the cone with the ball and rolls the ball out for player 2 to run in and intercept the ball with two hands.

Once player 1 has rolled the ball out to player 2 they then have to run behind the stumps to field the throw.

After throwing the ball behind the stumps player 2 then stands on the cone, receives the ball back from player 1 and the drill can start again.

Note: The person who starts the practice with the first throw stays where they are until the next turn, then they throw and run up the side.
