The pitch is to be laid out as shown.
One side fields and one side bats.
The fielding side requires one person to bowl and the rest spread out
on the field.
The batting side sit on a side bench and one person bats.
The game begins by the ball being bowled to the batter.
The ball must bounce before the batter, see x marked on floor and come
to a suitable height for the batter to bat.
The batter has two chances at the ball. They must run on the second
ball even if they have not hit it.
The batter is to hit the ball with the hand or fist, and then run to
the other end of the hall to behind the line.
The batter may run on any of the two bowls.
The fielders may try to get the batter out by throwing the ball at
them.
If the ball hits the batter once the batter is between the lines then
that batter is out.
Once the batter is over the line at either end they are safe.
To score a point the batter must run to the furthest line over it and
back to the other line without being hit with the ball.
The batter may not run back if the bowler has the ball.
The batter can be caught out if the ball is caught before it hits the
floor.
The batter may not bat the ball to behind the line where they are
batting from.
The next player to bat must be ready, the bowler need only wait until
the batting team are across the line.
If there is only one batter left then they must run the full course,
i.e. there and back.
A player may run back from the other end once the ball has been hit by
the batter, assuming that the ball has not been disallowed.
The team with the most runs wins the game.
