Hi Andrew,

If you make a mistake with a serve you lose the point straight away. You don't get a second chance.

Alois,

Can you please clarify for me what a bad serve is. For example, if I throw the ball up but then decide not to hit the ball, have I then lost the point? Or, if I throw the ball up and miss the ball completely with the bat, have I lost that point?

thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Yes if you throw the ball up it is in play so if you miss it or catch it again you lose the point.
