A cricket player striding out to bat often resembles a warrior going into battle. Without the appropriate equipment, standing to face a bowler who is able to bowl a cricket ball at nearly 100mph would often result in serious injury. To find information on equipment used by cricketers or even to make an equipment purchase online, visit the following cricket equipment sites and pages.
Warning:
Be very careful of gear and especially bats bought online as you won’t always get the quality you are promised. We know of one Australian based bat supplier who is purporting to be selling High quality bats for bargain basement prices. These bats, manufactured in sweatshops throughout Asia are a classic example of “you get what you pay for.” The suppliers listed below are the ONLY ones Abc of Cricket trusts to supply you with quality gear at the best prices on the web. And no, we don’t get any commissions or kick backs from them.
