Soldier ball sounds class!
Although, maybe not for the bowler as they have to chase there own delivery

it is a proper good laugh!! and bowlers should at that point just bowl properly haha (No Swearing Please) ball? go fetch ahha

That is a very good point, if you bowl a terrible ball, the bowler should fetch it.

Fros was our go to man for hand grenades. The ability to get huge amounts of flight and drop with a tennis style grunt normally opened the shot wallet. Bowling joke bowlers was another last ditch option, guys who bowled 5 rank balls followed by the unplayable leg cutter.

Toes or nose is the saying at my club to the tail enders. Get the yorkers in, or make sure the bouncers are up at the nose

couple of things i have been known to do

A bring on the part timers to bowl slow length deliveries with the field up.

B bring on one of our quicks and we have a couple of very sharp quicks, Put in 3-4 very close fielders and find out how much he really wants to hang about and block it normally a quick word in his ear as i walk a long way behind the stumps tends to work. Normally as he bottles it or the quick feels guility and cleans him up.

c just rip the mick out of him for him becoming option A's little bunnie.

All this stuff is interesting, but if you are of the mind to play "Brigadier Block" and no one is going to stop you, it's amazing how soon the field reverts.

I can remember batting 24 overs plus scoring 9 runs for the 8th wicket in a losing draw!
