We are camping at the ground on Saturday and I've said I'd organise a few games for the guys. Apart from the obvious stump race, anyone have any ideas on activities to do in the evening?

We have a bowling machine so I wanted to do furthest hit and highest catch and I also wanted to try longest throw. I did start thinking about some kind of relay race around the outfield using cricket bags which could be laugh.

All suggestions welcome

egg and spoon race, only with a cricket ball instead.

If you're competing maybe give everyone a serving spoon and pull out a ladel for yourself.

Longest hit batting the wrong way. So right handers take left handed guard

Blindfold batting against the bowling machine!!!!

Thanks guys, some good ideas here although the blindfold is perhaps a little extreme I had thought about making this a big course so:-

4 people start
Down half a pint
Put on full batting kit
grab Egg (ball) and spoon, and race to the other side of the ground
Down half a pint, spin 10 times around a stump
Grab a kit bag and race back.
Try not to be sick

The obvious stump race is down a pint, run to the stump, forehead on, round 10 times run back and then next goes?

Do you know how to play 'spoons'? That's always a laugh if you have someone who doesn't.
