This drill will help bowlers develop consistency in line and length.
Place four cones on the pitch to mark a segment at full length just outside the line of the off stump and place a fifth cone in the center.

If you bowl wide of the target you lose a point.
Get a batsman to face the delivery to make the drill more realistic.
