Tossing the "coin"

[Dingo]

Usually at a BBQ or other gathering, flipping the bat will suffice to see who bats first (rooftops or flats)

i dunno about coins, we start with the weakest player and whoever catches them out goe in. that way they get a chance at playing.

toss the bat or whoeva gets the bat first bats

we just fight to the death for the 1st bat, then if you get someone out, then ur next in the order and so on and we just keep doing that till everyone's had a bat. But if you have been in and not everyone's had a bat and you get someone out, then you gotta pass the bat onto someone who hasn't batted yet.

Easy. "Hills" or "flats" and call it in the air.

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

Cat or V, player turns around and calls it

Hills or flats...called in the air and if you lost the toss....best outta three!!

As a kid in Derbyshire, it was 'umps and 'ollers.

Fog bat was whose bat it was. The rest was open to argument.

In the event of a dispute re 'did the catch carry', you had to survive 'thray bat andles', in other words, the bat was held by the blade and the next three deviveries had to be defended with the handle.

Memories.

choose the weakest guy....hold up "n" number of fingers behimd his back and he calls out any name(among the players of course)..so by holding up finger numbers as many as there are players,all players get a number which gives the batting order....reverse sequence of those numbers is the bowling order...
