"Electric wicki" is good if there isn't too many fielders. Any edge that goes to the imaginary keeper/slip cordon behind the wicket is given out.

Our "not out first ball" and "first bounce, one-hand catch" rules only applied to little sisters.

Get a 30 can pack of New and place them in certain spots around the field of play.
Hit a can = Scull a can.
