Kookaburra Bat Selection day on YouTube

by Ben Barnes on 27/01/2012

After a very successful day at Kookaburra, having driven for 3 hours there and then spent 3 hours going through the bats and then, you’ve guessed it, 3 hours back, we have taken delivery of our first drop of cricket bats from Kookaburra. Jon Gotham and I went through dozens of boxes, inspected the bats and then narrowed it down to find what we feel to be the best of the best. It was a long day but worth every minute, mile and moment.

They are in store and already selling as people know we pick the best bats we think from their 15,000 available. Great middles, superb pick-ups and clean and even grains are what we look for.

It was worth the journey as we have hand picked the finest bat selection possible from an already great range from Kookaburra.

Massive thanks to Mark “Jacko” for his time and considerable skills with the bats and the fork-lift truck!!

Cricket Bat Care

by Ben Barnes on 19/01/2012

Very important information regarding taking care of your cricket bats. Many minor cracks can be explained by the experts, we at Game Set & Match are strong believers of these guidelines and use them when inspecting bats.

Follow the link to the Bat manufacturers page for bat care information. They are all very consistent and clearly state the do’s and don’ts of cricket bat care.

Newbery Bat Care

Mongoose Bat Care

Salix Bat Care and Maintenance

Millichamp and Hall Bat Care and Maintenance

Slazenger Bat Care

Small cracks and marks can be dealt with very easily in our repair department at Game Set & Match before the need to send back to the manufacturers.

We are always only too pleased to help with any bat issue you may have.

Kookaburra Cricket new Signing

by Ben Barnes on 09/01/2012

Kookaburra have signed Ian Bell for the 2012 season, a very good addition to their already star studded sponsored players.

Using the Recoil range which we have in stock at Game Set and Match, we are sure he will have a fantastic 2012. The Number 3 batsmen in the world is one of the better batsmen to watch with his straight bat and elegant cover drives.
