Gray-Nicolls Crest Cricket Bat
The Gray Nicolls Crest Cricket Bat is designed for cricketers who prioritise pickup, timing and effortless stroke play. Suitable for club cricketers, school players and developing batters, it offers a lightweight feel that helps players play with confidence across all formats of the game.
Handcrafted in Australia, the Crest combines a balanced profile with a refined blade shape, making it an excellent option for players who value bat speed, control and clean ball striking.
Built for Effortless Stroke Play
The Crest features a mid profile and even bow, creating a balanced sweet spot that supports a wide variety of shots around the ground. Whether you're rotating strike, driving through the covers or building an innings, the bat is designed to move quickly through the ball while maintaining control.
Its super light pickup is one of its standout features. Players who prefer a lighter bat will appreciate how easily it manoeuvres against different bowling styles and changing match conditions.
The rounded POWERCURVE face is designed to improve feel through impact, helping create a smooth connection between bat and ball. Combined with medium edges, the Crest offers a balance of performance and handling that suits a wide range of players.
Natural Blade Finish
The Crest features a natural blade finish, allowing players to prepare and maintain the bat according to their preferred setup and bat care routine.
As with all English willow cricket bats, proper preparation and ongoing maintenance will help maximise performance and longevity.
