To score a ‘goal’
Team X must take
10 catches in a row without being tagged
by Team O.
If Team O intercept the ball or tag a
player from Team X who is holding the
ball then Team O regain possession of the
ball and attempt to score a goal.
Other variations
Start with 5 passes and when one team
achieves this they have to get 6 and the
other team is still on 5. Roll the ball along
the ground 10 times to score a goal (any

before O 1 can hits the stumps or the ball
misses the stumps then X 1 scores runs
for their team.
If O 1 hits the stumps before X 1 can get
back to the start line then X 1 is ‘out’.
Once all 3 batsmen are out the Team O
attempt to beat Team X score/runs.
