As a trainee PE teacher and cricket coach, this sounds like my kind of thing.

I thought about incorporating fielding and running between the wickets into a more authentic game situation. Create a smaller than normal sized pitch, allow the batsman to hit the ball of a tee (bowling machine or man with sidearm would be more authentic) and their aim is to find space through running ones and twos. The fielders objectives is to work as a team through chasing down in twos, backing up etc. to limit the amount of runs. As the drill progresses, spot for weaknesses in the fielding aspect of the game (could be basic long barrier or something more complex) and hone in by breaking down the skill if necessary. (Weaknesses could be individual to each player or could be more general to the overall team) If you feel they have improved through breaking down the skill, put it back into the game situation to see if individuals/team have improved.

Hope this helps and if you need anymore help, gimme a shout.

Cheers bud, thats helpful. Where are you training to be a PE teacher, and what route are you taking?

Personally I would look to incorporate a wide range of skills with in the drill to include the coach hitting a catch to a group at station 1, once caught the ball is thrown at a stump encouraging station 2 to attack the ball as thrown for a back up/ run out scenario who in turns throw at another stump once fielded, where the keeper is standing to bring the keeper in to play, the keeper then rolls the ball out for station 3 to attack with an under armed pick up and throw back to the coach.
Working with a new group normally needs a fair amount of pro active thinking to adapt the session as it progresses. Have seen many a coach continue with the planned session when it is clearly to hard/easy for the group. Keep it intense and match specific as find women cricketers work better when its a match situation.

One station of a fielding circuit could be Court Ball:
Two teams on a badminton court, area coned off in centre of court (Full width of court and about 50cm deep) 3 players on each side, take turns in throwing ball to opponents side but the ball has to bounce in the middle area. Aim is to throw the ball and other team must stop it going out the back of the court.

Another station may be two squares:

You have two squares coned off about 3m x 3m. 3 players in a team on each square with a 4m gap between the two squares.They have to underarm the ball into the other square and the other team must catch the ball and not let it land in their square. If it lands in the square the player whos fault it was/dropped the catch must leave the square meaning the team has 1 less player. If someone throws it and it looks like its not going to land in the square the opposition can leave the ball and if it lands outside the square the player who threw it is out. Game can get quite tactical when theres only 1 v 1 at the end with lots of high throws that may just land on the line.

Hope that makes sense and doesnt seem too complex!

This thread has completely highlighted why this forum has gone downhill in the last 6-8 months. Before, this thread would have been inundated with people offering some support. Perhaps I should have posted the thread with the title 'I've got �300 and I like bats, which bat should I buy if I like cricket?'

I would have loved to help you but my usual warm up drills before a game usually consists of a prematch cigarette. Unfortunately I quit smoking for Stoptober so I now have absolutely nothing to offer!
