Kwik cricket

Kwik cricket (known as Milo Kanga cricket in Australia, and Milo Kiwi cricket in New Zealand) is a version of cricket aimed mainly at encouraging children between 5 and 11 years old to take part in the main sport, with an emphasis on participation and enjoyment

The game is played with a plastic bat and ball for safety and physical reasons. The rules can be altered so that virtually any number of children can play in the time available and the game can be made easier or more difficult by changing the physical dimensions of the pitch

Normally, the children bat in pairs for 4 overs and everyone bowls at least 1 over. Scores start at 200 and for every wicket that falls 5 runs are deducted
