The concept
The Revolver Cricket concept is the brainchild of a development team who thought outside the square … and came up with a unique triangular game played in a circle.
Loosely modeled on the popular informal game known as French Cricket – and based on our unique revolving stumps — it represents a serious attempt to make cricket more fun all round.
Revolver Stumps* are a stunningly simple yet innovative development in training/playing apparatus, specially designed to rotate through 360 degrees.
Whether at the club or the beach, in the school playground or the local park, Revolver Cricket offers players the opportunity to embrace a dynamic all-inclusive approach to the game … quite literally, from all angles.
With a host of modified games – many of them easily adapted to training/PE programs – Revolver Cricket also offers significant possibilities in the disabled, institutional and corporate team building sectors.
Features
- Revolver Cricket is designed to help players develop their batting, bowling and fielding skills in a dynamic, fun new setting.
- It has been devised to ensure ALL players are actively involved at ALL times – whether in a match, training or playground environment.
- It can be played on any reasonably even, safe surface – in full circle, half circle or quarter circle formats, depending on the number of players involved and playing area available.
- All games* are centred on a set of Revolver Stumps – three stumps mounted on a base plate and designed to rotate through 360 degrees.
- A batter can take strike in any direction against bowlers who deliver the ball from designated points on the circle (or part thereof) – with the wicketkeeper redirecting the stumps as necessary.
- It allows for up to four other batters (non-strikers) to take up positions at the designated bowling points – enabling them to “cross” with the striker for a run, or runs, to be scored.
- It features a range of formal, structured games, characterised by a unique triangular format (eg. Tri Fives – three teams of five players each) that promotes subtle leadership and support skills.
- It includes a range of informal, “freestyle” games which can be readily incorporated into group training/school PE sessions.
- In all team games, ALL players are actively involved at ALL times as batting, bowling and fielding roles rotate through each session.
- In each session, the designated bowling team (includes wicketkeeper) and the designated fielding team combine against the batting team to ensure a genuine match environment.To stay in touch with the most recent developments please join our Facebook group Or follow us on TwitterTo contact the team directly please email info@revolvercricket.com * Patent pending © 2010 Revolver Cricket Enterprises
