Normally bring tip and run in if you've been in a while and have poor bowlers and fielders.

We always called it tippety run.
And since we didn't have a wicketkeeper, it was up to the batsman's (or woman's) own discretion on whether or not they had hit the ball.
But we did have a ruling on it, and numerous times it got ****y batsmen out.

We always play "hit and run" (or as we used to called it "block and bolt"!!) no matter how hard you hit it or where you hit it to!

We used to have a rule that if a batsman hit it behind them it was a no ball and you didn't have to run.

At my primary school, We called it tip 'n' run, the masters called it 'non-stop cricket'. The batsman had 4 wickets to defend. There were only 2 ways of being dismissed - caught or bowled. Upon making contact with the ball, you pegged it in the general direction of square leg, around another stump and back again for each run scored. Hopefully, you were in time to defend the next delivery. The fielders got the ball back to the bowler as soon as possible, so that he could bowl at an undefended wicket.
A good score was about 12 to 15, a great one was 30. I cannot recall anyone ever making 50. A boy called Paul held one record to be proud of, though. We had no boundaries, because the game was played in the middle of the school playing fields, and the fences were MILES away. One day, Paul managed to get the ball down a drain the janitor had been working on.
Eat your heart out, Sir Garfield. Paul scored 36 off one BALL.
