similar drill can be used to coach backing up and thoughts on decision making. Increase number of stumps fielders run around. Coach calls bowler or keeper, or stump 1 or stump 2. Works well with 3 stumps in a line numbered 1,2 and 3 and fielder reacts to coach's call.

Great variation Ben and good to hear from you again.
