ASDA Kwik Cricket - Example Games
There are numerous ways in which a group of children can play ASDA Kwik Cricket.
The various formats can be adapted to suit the number of children playing and the time available - and suggestions are included in the booklet that comes with any ordered Kwik Cricket kit.
These include Continuous Cricket for two groups of say 10 or 12 batting for a set period of time, or the Lord's Game for two groups of four or five.
You can find some examples of how to play the game to download as a PDF in our ASDA Kwik Cricket - Information Pack
Here we show you how to play Pairs Cricket:
Organisation
- Divide the class into groups of eight
- Divide each group into pairs
- Pair One: two batters (who start with 20 runs)
- Pair Two: one bowler and one wicketkeeper
- Pair Three: two on/leg-side fielders
- Pair Four: two off-side fielders
- Batting team receives 12 balls
- If a bowled ball passes outside either cone to the left and right of the wicket a 'wide' is called - the batters receive one run and an extra ball is bowled
- Pairs rotate to new roles after 12 good balls
- No boundaries. Batters lose three runs each time they are bowled, caught, run out or hit wicket
- Winners are the pair with most runs when every pair has batted
