UMPIRES SIGNALS

BASIC LAWS

The objective of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team.

This is done by scoring as many runs as possible while batting before trying

to get the opposition out when fielding, restricting their score.

Players – Cricket is usually played between two teams of 11.

Runs – A run is generally scored when either a boundary is scored or when

both batter’s make their ground at the other end.

The Over – An over consists of 6 legal delivers. In most forms of cricket, if

either a wide or no ball is bowled it needs to be re-bowled.

Out – When a batsman has been dismissed.

Leg-bye – The ball has hit the batter, but not his gloves or bat, (while

attempting to play a shot) and they have run.

Bye – If the batter has made no contact with the ball at all, and a run or

more is taken.

No-ball – There are a number of reasons why an umpire can call no-ball.

The most common reasons are:

• Bowlers front foot toss (or higher) has been bowled.

• A waist high full toss (or higher) has been bowled.

• A bouncer over shoulder high has been bowled.

• A ball has been bowled that lands off the pitch on the full.

Dead-ball – If the umpire calls a halt to play for a specific reason.

Boundary 6 – If the batter hits the ball over (or into) the boundary on the full.

Boundary 4 – If the ball reaches the boundary after bouncing at least once.

Wide – If the ball lands on the pitch and then the umpire deems it to be

out of reach of the batter.

Short Run – If an umpire notices 1 of the running batters didn’t reach the

crease before attempting another run.

Primary Syllabus Outcomes:

• MOS3.4 – Refines & applies movement skills creatively to a variety of challenging situations

• GSS2.8 – Participates & uses equipment in a variety of games & modified sports

Warm Up Keep the Bucket Full – (3 mins)

The teacher has a large bucket of balls and throws balls out away from the

children. The children must move around, pick up the balls and put them back

into the bucket. The teacher wins if all balls are out of the bucket, the children

win if they keep balls in the bucket for 3 minutes.

Hint: A large storage classroom crate can be used, spread the balls out

to ensure children do not crowd or collide with each other.

30 Balls

1 Bucket

Skill Activity Bowling – (7 mins)

Activity:

(In groups of 4-5) Using 7 pitches 15m long children bowl to their partner who

acts as the wicketkeeper. The wicketkeeper rolls the ball back to the bowler

after each turn. Each child has 4 bowls before swapping with their partner.

Progression:

• Introduce run up once action is strong enough

• Aim to hit the stumps with only 1 bounce

Hint: The more bowling pitches used the better. You can use bins,

boxes or markers as stumps. You can even use better skilled students

to demonstrate.

Four Bowler Diamond Cricket – (30 mins)

The rules and set up of this game are exactly the same as Diamond Cricket in

session 3, with the following difference;

• There is no bowler in the middle.

• The wicketkeepers behind each stumps are the bowlers and they bowl to

the set of stumps opposite them i.e.; 12 o’clock bowls to 6, 3 bowls to 9,

6 to 12 and 9 to 3.

• The fielders can now throw the ball at any stumps to run batters out and

bowlers can still bowl as soon as they get the ball regardless of whether

the batter is there or not.

Hint: Fielders practice all fundamental skills of batting, bowling,

catching, fielding and throwing in a game situation.

To start;

• Arrange four stumps in a diamond shape, 10m from the centre.

• Divide class into two teams, a batting and fielding team.

• The first 4 batters stand in front of each set of stumps; the remainder line up

behind a marker well to the side.

• The fielding team has a wicketkeeper behind each set of stumps; the remainder

field outside the diamond. No fielders are allowed to start inside the diamond.

• The bowler stands in the middle of the diamond, ideally a teacher, older

student, or a member of fielding team.

• They bowl to any batter at any stumps underarm only.

• Once the batter hits the ball or the ball hits them all four batters run

anti-clockwise to the next set of stumps. (1 run is scored if all four batters

make it to the next set of stumps)

• Batters can run to more than the next set of stumps if they can make it.

• The fielders collect the ball it to the bowler and cannot throw at the stumps directly.

Skill Activity Circle Catching Crossfire – 7 mins

• Divide class group into 3 groups of 10

• Each group forms a circle, each child standing opposite a partner

(5m away). There should now be 3 circles.

• 1 ball/pair.

• A pair is eliminated from the circle if they do not catch the ball.

• Pairs continue to underarm the ball back and forth until one pair is left.

• Winning pairs from each circle then change groups and the games

continue.

Progression:

• Each child in the pair has a ball.

• Form 1 large circle with 1 ball/pair

Modified Game Four Bowler Cricket

To start;

• Set up 4 markers in a cross, 10m from the centre, with stumps in the centre.

• Divide class into two equal teams.

• The fielding team comprises 4 bowlers, one on each marker; the remaining

players spread out around the field (must start outside the markers).

• When the batter hits the ball, they must run to the marker which the

bowler bowled from and return to the batting position (scoring one run)

• The ball is returned by the fielder to any of the bowlers who may bowl

immediately, whether the batter has returned or not. Bowling can be

underarm or overarm but no run up is allowed.

• Batters may be out ‘bowled’, ‘caught’ or ‘hit wicket’ only. The new batter

runs in with spare bat to replace them.

• Teams change over when all batters have been dismissed.

• Team scoring the most runs wins.

Hint: A round bin may be used as the stumps. If enough room is

available two games can be played to reduce numbers.

10m away, directly opposite the tee. Batter strikes ball off the tee keeping front

elbow pointing to the sky to keep a straight bat. The fielder, standing between

the two markers, rolls the ball back to the batter who places the ball back on

the tee. Each child has 4 hits before swapping.

Progression:

• Batter can hit a rolling ball from their partner

• Batter can hit the ball to different marker zones to signify different shots

Hint: In the event of a lack of equipment children can hit a stationery

ball off the ground and children can work in groups of three or four.

Modified Game - Line-up Cricket

The game can be played in teams or by having a fielder replace a batter when they have completed their turn.

The batter hits the ball from the tee between the markers. The batter runs around either of the markers to the left or right as many times as possible,

before the fielding side can retrieve the ball and form a straight line behind the person who fields the ball.

Each lap of a stump before a straight line is formed counts as a run scored. If the batter fails to hit the ball or clear the neutral zone the players repeats

that turn. Each batter has 2 hits.

The fielder with the ball is in charge of placing the ball back on the tee. The batter must wait until the fielder resumes their position before they can hit

the ball.

No fielders are allowed in the area between the batter and the markers (neutral zone)
