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 join the back of the line. The next batter needs to be ready quickly to bat.
- 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.
