The Rules
The Fielding Team
There are 2 ways to get a batter out:
- One is to catch the ball after it has been hit, without it bouncing on the floor. If played inside, this can mean being caught off the wall.
- The second is to be bowled out by the bowler. The fielding team need to return the ball to the bowler as quickly as possible, who bowls the ball whether the batter is ready or not. The bowler must bowl from within the bowling area. The ball should be bowled to bounce once in front of the batter. The fielders cannot run a batter out.
The fielders should not get too close to the batter.
The Batting Team
- The batter runs every time he/she hits the ball. The batter will run around one of the cones and back to protect the stumps. The bowler does not wait for the batter to return, but bowls as soon as they get the ball. The batter can run as many times as they want, running around one cone, back past the stumps and around the second cone.
- As soon as the batter is out, the next batter needs to be ready, as the bowler does not need to wait. The batting team continue until all the team have batted once.
