It is done exactly the same as able bodied cricket. Once the ball is delivered it is tracked down the pitch using the players hearing and any sight they may have. An appropriate cricket shot is then played by the batsman based on the sound coming from the ball.
The game needs to be seen in real time to get the full understanding of the skill required to bat. It is not uncommon for batsman to bat through an innings and the current New Zealand record for the highest score in an International innings is held by James Dunn B2 , current NZ captain which was obtained at the World Cup in India. An ordinary cricket bat is used when playing, many players prefer the slightly lighter bats as the ball is not as heavy as an ordinary cricket ball and fast hand-ear coordination is required.
Standard batting gloves are also used when batting and keeping and most players tend not to wear traditional pads but rather wear shin pads similar to soccer guards. Knee pads similar to volleyball are also used on occasion by the B1 players as batting from one knee tends to be the preference. A box is also highly recommended. These are also adapted. The wickets are generally made from steel and are fixed to a large flat base. This is done so that the stumps give off a distinct audible sound when hit by the plastic ball.
The main purpose of the large base is to balance the top heavy stumps. The pitch is the same as a standard pitch with the addition being a centre line across the middle of the pitch, this is the no ball line and all deliveries must bounce once either side of this line. Both grass and artificial pitches are used during the season. Artificial pitches are easier to bat and bowl on as the ball holds a truer line than on an uneven grass surface.
Boundaries are also shorter than a standard field as the ball does not travel as far as a cricket ball when hit. Players are set in their fielding positions as per able bodied cricket and remain in these positions once play is called. As the ball is delivered and makes its way down the pitch the fielders are listening for one of several distinctive sounds: The first is the sound of just the ball and if nothing else is heard the delivery was probably missed by the batsman or was a wide.
The second is the sound of the ball hitting the metal stumps. This is a high pitched sound, similar to a wind chime being struck. The third sound is a dull thud and this normally means the batsman has been struck by the ball.
