Flying bats and the like

• Don't throw the bat!

This is surprisingly easy to do. Apart from the safety issue, you will be given out by the umpires if you throw the bat. Just try not to throw the bat and watch out for flying bats!

• Call when catching

Two people running to field the same ball ... Both looking upwards ... Need I say more?

• Stumping out

If you're attempting to stump someone out be careful not to trip them over or do an American football style tackle on them. This is rounders we're talking about!

• Slippery pitches

We don't play in the rain because of this, but the pitches can still be slippery on a warm, sunny day.
