We ran similar sessions for all ages, focusing on decision making and risk assessment.
- [*]Do we need to run (apply appropriate risk, are we ahead or behind)?
- [*]Can we run?
- [*]Should we run (runs needed, wickets in hand, balls remaining)?
- [*]Whose call is it (Batter: ball in front, Non strike: Ball behind)
- [*]Calling, 3 choices: "Yes, No, Wait", that's it, nothing else - loud, clear and repeated
- [*]Is there a 2nd run? don't just settle for 1 (or 3rd, 4th)
- [*]Turning, so i can still see the ball
- [*]Grounding my bat just inside the crease (don't want to lose one by being short of the crease).
- [*]Running my bat in, with outstretched arm (bat on the ground)
