When playing cricket should the batter hit the ball towards the fielders? Please explain why or why not.

If the white dots are fielders, please draw where the batter should hit the ball so they can have the best chance to score runs.

If a batter keeps hitting the ball to the same spot and scoring lots of runs how could you make it harder for them, or stop them for scoring runs?

As a Year 6 cricket player, explain how changing the way you hit the ball (effort), the area you play in (space), the timing of your shots (time), the type of ball used (objects), or the number of players involved (people) can affect your cricket skills. Share specific examples to show how these changes make the game more interesting or challenging.
