Bring the classic tradition of backyard cricket to life with our Premium Backyard Cricket Set. Whether you are playing at the beach, in the backyard, or at the bach, this set is designed for fun for all ages, from the five-year-old who just wants to hit things to the uncle who takes it all far too seriously.
Includes a sturdy wooden bat, wickets, bails, a semi-soft ball, and a handy carry case so you are ready to roll wherever the grass, sand, or driveway takes you. The semi-soft ball means it is safe for all spaces and all ages, no broken windows, no excuses for dropping a catch. Simple to set up and genuinely hard to stop playing once someone gets a good run of hits going.
A beloved Kiwi summer staple, reimagined as a premium set worth keeping. Every summer needs one.
