Cricket Australia's guide suggests changing how space is used so all participants can have success:
- Reduce the size of the playing area and use smooth or indoor surfaces.
- Create zones within the playing area to simplify instructions.
- Change the shape or size of the playing area to make the game easier or harder.
Its example: both teams agree to reduce the playing area for a match, and the coach directs fielders to leave a zone with no fielders so the batting team has a better chance to score.
