Synthetic Cricket Wickets
Across Australia, cricketers in all grades are thrilled with our all weather synthetic cricket wickets. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, synthetic grass can cope with all weather conditions. After rain, it's ready to be played on within minutes.
Specifically for use on cricket pitches our synthetic grass is made of the highest quality polypropeleyne, closely tufted to ensure a consistent and true bounce every time. A synthetic pitch reduces injury to players by providing a level playing surface. Its durability offers the ability to withstand the pounding given by fast bowlers. Minimal maintenance is required for the upkeep of the wicket and a synthetic grass pitch can be easily covered in the off season to allow multi-use of the sports field with minimal disruption.
