Fielding Drills: Run Them Out

Filed in:

Purpose: To practice a match situation running between the wickets and fielding under pressure.

Description: Divide the team into two groups: Batters and fielders. The wicketkeeper rolls the ball out the the first player on the fielding team. The two batters try to complete 2 runs before the ball is picked up and returned to the wicketkeeper. The batsmen can abort the run if they feel they will be run out. Each pair of batters keep score over a set number of balls (6-10). Change after each pair has had a go. The winning team is the one with the most runs.

Variations: The fielding team can be set at any deep fielding position.
