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

Easier/harder

Decrease/increase distances
Decrease/increase the size of the wicket the batter must defend
Introduce marked boundaries and boundary scores

Including disabled children

Use a lighter bat or ball
