HOW TO PLAY
1

The batter stands with feet together while the other players spread out around them.

2

Fielders take turns bowling the ball underarm at the batter's legs, trying to hit them below the knee.

3

The batter defends their legs with the bat without moving their feet, only pivoting on the spot.

4

If a fielder hits the batter's legs, or catches a hit ball before it bounces, the batter is out and swaps places with that fielder.

5

Continue rotating batters so everyone gets a turn defending their legs.
