Bats, Balls, Helmets and Other Equipment for Cricket

Cricket is a game that evokes a lot of passion and excitement whenever the national team plays. The game has a lot of history and is also a big part of world history itself. First played in the 16th Century in Southern England, it became the national sport of England in the 18th Century. As the game was popularised during the time of British Imperialism, the game was spread to those parts of the world where the then British Empire had their colonies.

The first international cricket match was held around the mid-19th Century. It is really popular in Australia, the Indian sub-continent, England, West Indies and South Africa. Along with time, the technology used and associated with the game has undergone tremendous change. Today, the game involves a lot of hi-tech systems that are used for referring the decision made by on-field umpires or for making improvements in the players' skill, technique or better the equipment used.

Today, there are One Day Internationals and Twenty-Twenty matches apart from the original test matches. The evolution of the shorter formats is a result of the fast paced lives that we have come to lead, combined with the desire for more competitive and exciting matches. The game involves the use of various gears starting from the main ones, which are the Puma cricket bats, ball and stumps, to the protective gears. The ball used in the game is made of leather, which is heavy and can injure a player if it strikes their bodies hard. There are pads and gloves for batting and wicket keeping, helmets to cover the head and an abdomen guard or a box to protect the crotch.

Playing without protective gear is a really bad idea because it is as dangerous as riding a bike without wearing helmet. Even while practicing in the nets it is also advisable to wear protection so that any accident is avoided. All these equipment and gears are available from various brands that produce sports products or are exclusively dedicated to producing cricketing products. Puma, Adidas, GM, SG  Cricket Bats, Slazenger and Gray Nicolls are some of the popular brands that produce cricketing products.

There are cricket bats and protective gears of different sizes for player of different age groups and physiques. For young kids, parents can buy them tennis balls and lighter bats, so that they do not injure themselves or can play better with lighter equipment. You can find quality bats, balls, helmets and other gears from authentic brands in all leading sports goods stores or from online shopping sites. Buying from online shopping sites will help you save your time and get your orders delivered to your doorstep. You can also pay in the mode that is most convenient to you, whether it is with Cash on Delivery or through online methods like credit/debit cards.
