Scouting Games With Bats Or Sticks p3
12.5 FRENCH CRICKET
You will need:
* A cricket bat or baseball bat
* a tennis ball
All players form a circle and the batsman stands in the centre of the
circle facing the player who has the ball first. The player with the
ball can bowl under arm at the batsmans legs or pass the ball to
another player around the circle to bowl. The object of the game is to
hit the batsmans legs. The batsman must stay facing the man who first
had the ball, but he is allowed to move the bat around him to protect
his legs. When the batsmans legs are hit, he swaps places with the
player who bowled the ball.
12.6 NO BOWLER CRICKET
Set up as for any other cricket type of game, but in this variant
there is no bowler. In this version the batsman has to balance the
ball on his bat, flip the ball in the air and then hit it. The batsman
must run if he hits the ball or not. Any fielding team player can
stump the batsman if he is not at his wicket or catch him out. The
batsman may also be out if he drops the ball onto his own wicket. When
a batsman is out a new batsman, if one is available takes his place.
When all batsmen are out then teams change over from fielders to
batters.
