One Bounce Cricket Game

Note: We play this cricket game at scouts camps and when we only have a small area to play in.
Rules of the Game
The players should divide into two teams with 11 members each. Just like 50 overs cricket there are two players batting and the opposition team fields.
The batsmen should try to hit the ball so that it flies over the fielders' heads. But it must bounce once.
If the ball doesn't bounce the batsman is out.
The other rules are just like 50 overs cricket:
*if the ball hits the wicket while batting or running between the wickets, or the batsman is caught, then the player is out
*if the bowler delivers a ball far away from the wicket it is called a wide
or if the bowler's foot lands in front of the crease it is a no ball - the other side gains extra runs
This is not a simple game to play. We must concentrate and have patience. We can build up patience, concentration, teamworking, quick responsiveness and a lot of skills through this game.
