Set the timer to 88 minutes

How to use the online timer

While you run a school cricket practice, an eighty-eight-minute countdown lets you watch each drill, correct a bowling action and keep an eye on pupils rather than repeatedly checking the clock. It provides a clear boundary for a session that must fit around the school day, changing rooms and collection arrangements.

As the group moves from warm-up to fielding and net practice, the set length can be changed directly on the page if a late start or an unavailable pitch affects the plan. The revised countdown then reflects the time the team actually has, while you remain focused on safe spacing, fair turns and useful feedback.

During a busy practice, use the countdown to mark the session’s outer limit, then divide the available time on your written plan. A mechanical timer with a ring can be knocked or read imprecisely beside kit bags; a digital display gives a more exact remaining time when you glance over between deliveries. Allow a final few minutes for collecting balls and checking that pupils have their belongings.
