The knob (54) may be held between the fingers and may be drawn downwards against force of spring (48) and manually manipulated whereby on release the arm (50) pivots to project ball (16) from cup (53), either with or without spin imparted by knob (54), towards a player holding the bat (1). The arrangement enables players to exercise a considerable degree of skill and control over both bowling of the ball and striking same with the bat.
