  • Then read ‘ The preamble to the laws' in the Supporting Material section and explain how they are not official laws, but get the class to discuss why they are equally as important if not more important.
   
Main Activity

  • Read out a cricket conflict, eg, the batsmen run in to each other and the fielder runs the batsman out, and the pairs must discuss what they would do to resolve the conflict. Read the conflicts aloud from Activity 1 of this module and then discuss the pupils’ answers (Cut the conflicts out from the sheet to form a pile to be used for the lesson.
