There are bats to suit every technique and budget. Many factors come into play - blade shapes, weight, bat size, handle size, and sweet spot are the most important factors to consider all of which are discussed in detail to help you with selecting a bat. If you have played cricket before, you probably already know the characteristics that best suit you.

There are a lot of bats out there. As bat-makers introduce new models with slightly new specs each year, there is a lot to choose from.

At Dream Cricket, we have carefully selected bats that fit your style – be it a classy and careful builder of an innings (for all round play) or a flamboyant and attacking stroke-maker (with enhanced sweet spot and more power). Most of our bats fall in these two categories to make the bat selection a logical and simple process. We don't want to confuse you with marketing babble that all looks the same! We also have bats with Kevlar handle inserts for those who want cutting-edge technology. But in the end, our bats are essentially two types – traditional and attacking.

Of course, we carry some of the highest quality hand-crafted Kashmir willow bats as well. These are for the budget-conscious.

In picking our selection, we have made a conscious decision not to carry bats that compromise on quality. You will only find the best bats at DreamCricket, be it English willow or Kashmir willow.

We offer the best value on the continent. At DreamCricket, we don't sell you a bat at a low price-point and pass on the hidden costs of knocking in, toe-protection, or bat cover. We don't like surprises when we select our inventory and neither should you. Our Grade 1 and Grade 2 English willow bats will be knocked in, toe protected and we will supply the bat cover. All these costs (a $50 value) need to be factored in.

We understand that the best bat for you is the one you are comfortable with – to be seen with, but more importantly, to play with.

Unless otherwise specified, all our bats are full size, short handle, right handed and in ready to play condition. If you want a different handle size or need a left-handed bat, just ask us and we will special order these for you.

In addition, our entire range of English willow bats come knocked in, with toe-protection and with a bat cover. They also include a 1-year warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. (link to warranty).
