Today was just for noting down some measurements, choosing a piece of wood and sawing off what I needed. So far I'm being optimistic, even though my dyscalculia already made me struggle with just writing down some logical measurements. ^^"

Cricket Kit - Protect Yourself and Enhance Your Game

When it comes to playing cricket at a serious level, equipment is critical. Regardless of whether you're playing terrace or gully cricket, it’s important to have the right kit to enhance your game and protect yourself.

Ensure your cricket kit includes the following:

Bat

The bat is the most important piece of cricket equipment, enabling players to hit the ball across the field. It’s a long, padded wooden plank with a handle similar to – but sturdier than – a tennis racquet.

To prepare a new bat for use, apply a light coat of Raw linseed oil to the face, edges and back of the bat. Be sure not to oil the splice, handle or labelled areas. Oiling will help prolong the life of your bat. Fibre tape is also useful for repairing minor cracks on the bat.

Ball

The ball used for cricket is made with a cork core wrapped in string and covered with leather. It must adhere to a strict universal standard for weight and dimensions.

Other essential cricket gear includes batting gloves to protect the fingers and knuckles and a batting helmet to offer head protection against fast bowlers. A cricket hat is also useful for shielding the skin from sun exposure.

To help transport equipment to and from the ground, cricketers should invest in a kit bag that can accommodate a lot of gear. Wheeled cricket kits bags feature robust wheels and a pull-along handle, perfect for adults seeking high-quality gear curated for optimal performance.

Gloves

A batsman needs to wear gloves when batting, they protect the fingers and wrist from the impact of the ball. They also help a batter get a good grip over the bat.

Depending on the side of the hand, the gloves will have different protection; righthanded gloves have additional padding for the thumb while left-handed gloves have extra protection for the bottom fingers. Some gloves also have special features such as D3o or Smart fabrics.

The gloves need to be well ventilated because hands tend to sweat during play. They should be cleaned after each use and stored in a warm place to prevent them from drying out.

Leg Guards

Batting pads are used by Cricket bat to protect the legs from hard balls bowled at high speed. They are often accompanied by knee and thigh padding to give additional protection.

The lower leg guards appear soft and flexible, but quickly mold to the player's leg, transforming into a lightweight shield that deflects ball impacts. Be sure to schedule at least 30 minutes to fit the EvoShield catcher's leg guard system, and remember to wear game pants and cleats during molding. Aim for a tight fit that stays in place during play.

Arm Guards

Designed to protect your dominant arm from impact during cricket games and training, these arm guards provide a comfortable fit while also protecting against any potential injury. They are ambidextrous and available in both adult and Youth bat sizes to ensure the best fit.

Arm guards can be made from a range of materials, with leather providing the most durable and protective option. Synthetic alternatives, such as neoprene, are lighter and more flexible but can be less durable over time.

Choose a model that fits your needs and preferences. Consider factors such as size, material, and how it secures to your body.

Chest Guard

Protecting the chest is essential when playing Cricket kit bag that involves contact with balls and bats. Chest guards are padded garments that shield the chest and rib areas from impact injuries.

Chest protectors are designed to absorb and disperse the force of impacts, reducing the risk of serious injuries like broken ribs and punctured lungs. They also increase a player’s confidence and allow them to play with more intensity.

Ensure that your chest guard is the right size and shape for maximum protection. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning and maintenance to extend its lifespan.

Thigh Pads

The thigh pad is used by batsmen in cricket to protect their legs from the impact of hard balls. They are also used by wicket-keepers and catchers in a variety of sports such as baseball, fastpitch softball, field hockey, ringette, and bandy.

The cricket thigh pads are lightweight and fit snugly on your thighs, ensuring full movement for maximum performance levels. They feature high-density, dual layered EVA foam padding to protect batters from the impact of high velocity cricket balls.

Players are now customizing their thigh pads with treDCAL, turning their protective gear into a form of personal expression on the field.

Like a mouldy cheese mate, you keep getting better!

The weather has been awful. Terrible. Dreadful. So bad in fact, that many of the local leagues have had their season’s start delayed for at least one and in many cases two weeks…with the prospect of a good few more fixtures postponed at the start of May.

I wanted to get out to a game on what was now the defacto first week of the cricket season, but my options were limited – certainly if I was staying within 15 miles of where I live. I also didn’t want to travel to a ground, only to find that the game was delayed and eventually abandoned – which happened to me last year.

Harrogate CC 2XI were scheduled to play at home against York CC 2XI in the Yorkshire Premier League North – Championship West, and to be honest, I didn’t really believe that it would go ahead given the fact that I had walked around the front and back pitches a week earlier and could have brought my swimming trunks - given the amount of water on the surface of both.

I arrived with half an hour to spare, parking on the small grass hill next to the scoreboard and gazed around the ground. It looked a mixture of okay to not-so-sure that a game could be played.

With umpires and players satisfied after a thoughtful wander around the outfield, the game started on time and York, who had won the toss, elected to take to the field with Harrogate batting first. It would be interesting to see how the players coped in some of the more wet parts of the outfield and how the ball rolled.

The first big hit went quite a distance, landing about two thirds of the way to the boundary rope and…dug in with half the ball disappearing into the soft surface. No bounce at all. But it must be said, it had landed on probably the worst part of the ground.

Harrogate batted with a first game of the season kind of pace, scoring slowly but steadily. The innings was looking solid, and the batsmen were playing with a real confidence.

Sanjay Mani caught the eye as he looked at ease standing at the crease and playing the ball around the ground, but it was Hector Hamill who really impressed with the selection of shots he was playing.

I’d seen Hector play a good few times last season and know that he has a very bright future in the game if he keeps on the trajectory he seems to be taking. I’ve seen other similar young talented players and they’ve gone on to play at higher levels.

Hector built the backbone of the innings for Harrogate, reaching 86 off 117 balls, including eight fours and one six.

That’s not to suggest that the home team were relying on the one player, good knocks by George Owran (10), Peter Greenfield (21), and a brilliant 44 by Ashley Griffin helped Harrogate to a total of 206 in just over 46 overs.

York’s Josh Wood was the pick of the bowlers with five wickets for just 32 runs.

As the players went in, my thoughts turned to lunch, and I headed to the gazebo set up outside The Balcony to see what was on offer. Food was being put on by The Round Table Dining company (www.theroundtabledining.co.uk), and the aromas were captivating.

I ordered spring rolls and salt & pepper chips, before heading inside to get a drink from The Balcony Bar.

The food was fantastic and the drinks service by Andy and Molly-Rose was excellent as ever…both highly recommended.

Anyway, energy suitably replenished I got back to the boundary rope to get some images of the York innings. A score just over 200 is probably 20 to 40 runs short of the sort of score that is expected on this ground, but the unknown element on this opening day of the season was the playing surface.

The first few overs seemed okay, but then the wickets started to fall, and York appeared to struggle to make runs. Guy Darwin impressed early on and ended up scoring 38 runs off 43 balls, but his teammates seemed to be struggling to stay at the crease, with most only managing to score a few runs.

As the drinks break was taken around the 25 over mark, it was clear that York wasn’t going to reach the target set and it was more a question of when they would run out of wickets.

I was surprised how well they played after the break, and it took the home team until the 39th over to bowl the visitors out for just 103. Harrogate had won by 103 runs, with Harrogate's William Harwood impressing with three wickets for just six runs!

So, a good day for Harrogate, earning ten points and sitting second in the table – although who really looks at a table in the first few weeks of the season!

I’d managed to find a game to cover on the [cough] ‘opening’ day of the season and play hadn’t been interrupted by rain at all (although there were a few drops near the end of the Harrogate innings).

Despite it not being a close game overall, there had been a few interesting battles between the batsmen and bowlers, and genuinely an entertaining match to start the 2024 season. Now we can only hope that a spell of good weather will dry more grounds out in the next couple of weeks and the league campaigns for all teams can get underway.

Oh! The title? The words of encouragement from one Harrogate player to his bowler!
