Buying cricket equipment

Cricket equipment is chosen on fit, on the grade of cricket being played, and on the surface it is used on - in that order. Sizing is by measurement rather than age for every protective item, and equipment that is too large protects worse than equipment that fits, because it moves out of position at the moment of impact.

Junior equipment in particular should be bought to fit now rather than to be grown into: oversized bats and pads teach technical habits that outlast the equipment.

If you are unsure what suits a particular player, the coaching staff at Cricket For All's Gilles Plains centre see the same equipment in the nets every day and will advise on fit and suitability.

Sizing cricket equipment correctly

Every protective item in cricket is sized by measurement, not by age, and correct sizing is a safety matter rather than a comfort preference.

Item	Measure
Bat	Player height
Batting pads	Centre of knee to top of instep
Helmet	Head circumference just above the eyebrows
Batting gloves	Hand length, fingertips near the glove ends
Thigh guards	Knee to top of thigh
Shoes	Foot length plus a thumb-width, and width
Chest guard	Chest circumference

Why oversized equipment protects worse

Protection works by staying in contact with the body at the moment of impact. Equipment that is too large slides, rotates or sits proud, and has moved out of position by the time the ball arrives. An oversized pad pushes its knee roll above the knee and leaves the shin exposed; an oversized glove lets the finger slide out from under the padding; an oversized helmet rocks and the grille moves.

This is why buying junior equipment to "grow into" is a false economy in a way that buying a large shirt is not.

Buying for a growing junior

Juniors outgrow equipment on a roughly annual cycle through the fastest growth years. Practical approaches:

• Buy protective equipment to fit now, and expect to replace it.
• Kashmir willow bats and entry-range protective gear exist precisely for this - the cost per season of a correctly fitted entry bat replaced yearly is lower than a premium bat used oversized for two years.
• Second-hand is reasonable for bats and bags. It is not reasonable for helmets, where impact history is invisible and matters.

Care that extends equipment life

The single most damaging thing done to cricket equipment is storing it damp in a sealed bag. Leather hardens, protective foam degrades, straps rot and everything smells. Empty the bag after every match, air the contents, and store the bag open.

Beyond that: dry away from direct heat, wash inners rather than gloves, wipe pad facings rather than machine washing, and replace protective foam that has hardened.

Getting advice

Cricket For All is a working cricket centre as well as a store. The staff and coaches see the same equipment used in the indoor lanes daily, which is a different basis for advice than a catalogue. The Gilles Plains centre can measure and fit in store: phone (08) 7095 5777 or email retail@cricketforall.com.au.

Common cricket equipment terms

• Senior / Junior - size bands; junior equipment is sized by measurement, not age.
• English willow / Kashmir willow - the two timbers used for cricket bats.
• Knocking in - preparing a bat's face by progressive mallet compression.
• Closed-cell foam - the standard energy-absorbing material in cricket protection.
• Handedness - many protective items are shaped for a specific side of the body.

Common questions about cricket equipment

How do I know what size to buy?

Every protective item in cricket is sized by measurement, not age. Bats by player height, pads by knee-to-instep, helmets by head circumference, gloves and shoes by fit. Buying oversized reduces protection, because equipment that moves is out of position when the ball arrives.

Can I get advice before buying?

Yes. Cricket For All is a working cricket centre as well as a store, so the staff and coaches see the same equipment used in the indoor nets daily. Phone (08) 7095 5777 or visit the Gilles Plains centre.
