In a confined
area excellent close catching practice can be given by the thrower standing
behind two fielders facing a wall, and the latter having to sight and catch a solid rubber or tennis
ball as it rebounds. This is of high value in quickening the fielder’s
reactions and can be made enjoyably competitive.
As soon as the
coach is satisfied that his team has grasped the main principles of fielding
technique, he will move on to the vital superstructure of “match practice”.
It will be
carried out in the middle; the coach will bat himself and, with
someone bowling “to order”, will play strokes, as he would in a match, to a
team stationed in their normal places, though , unless he and his bowler
are pretty skilful, he may well
dispense with slips and fine leg.
