(Indoor Game)
Apparatus: 3 stumps mounted on a base to stand on
floor, a soft ball (rag one preferably) and a bat.
Any numbers can play.
Divide the boys into equal teams,
one batting and one fielding.
Batsmen line up in bay behind and to the right of the
wicket. Bowler stands in a circle at appropriate bowling
distance from wicket.
Runs are scored by running from the wicket to the side
of the room at right angles to the line of the bowled ball and
back to wicket again.
If batter touches the ball he must run.
The ball when
fielded must immediately be returned to the bowler who will
bowl at the wicket whether the batsmen is ready or not.
If batsman is put out by bowler or caught the next bats-
man must immediately take over and defend the wicket as
the bowler will bowl non-stop whether there is a batsman
at the wicket or not.
The BALL IS NEVER DEAD.
It is possible for a batsman to be put out before he ever
gets the bat.
Continue until all are out and change over.
Side scoring
most runs is the winner.
A fast, exciting game.
