Getting started

The equipment is all in position, teams have been selected and you understand the basic rules of the game - so now it’s time to get the action underway. Prior to the match, the six players in each team will have been ranked in order of ability by the respective coaches (1 = low and 6 = high). During an innings, the same ranked players from opposing teams bowl and bat against each other (1 v 1, 2 v 2 etc). This is made possible by placing the ranked fielders in a rotation in the same order as the ranked batters. Once the team line-ups have been organised and announced, the umpires arrange for the coin to be tossed and the successful captain gets to choose whether they would prefer to bat or bowl first. The rankings dictate where the fielders are positioned around the table and when everyone is in place... off you go. |
