subject: Need New Cricket Equipment? [print this page] Now that the summer is nearly upon us it's a great chance to take up a new sport, whether you are in school or have some free time, playing cricket is a great way to not only meet new people but also get fit and healthy at the same time.
As spring comes to an end and with the end of the domestic football season only a few weeks away, cricketers all over the country will be getting their cricket equipment out of the shed or garage and giving it a good clean and airing ready for the season ahead. Taking their cricket equipment to the club house and giving it a run out is a great way to see if it is still all intact or whether you'll need to invest in some replacement cricket equipment in time for the first match of the season.
There are of course many items to think about when it comes to cricket equipment. The whites for one, whether you need a jumper or not, cricket spikes help to grip the ground and then of course there is all the protective cricket equipment including the helmet, gloves, pads and of course the all important box!
With a few practice sessions under your belt, you're starting to get you 'eye' again. Although still a little rusty the muscles are recovering a little quicker than when you first started and with the first match in only a few weeks you can take your time and make sure that you are up to match play when it comes.
Checking through your cricket equipment a week or so before the big game is a wise move, as the last thing that you would want to happen is for your gloves to break half way through the all important first innings. So have a good think about what will last the season and which items definitely will not. This preparation will also allow you time to shop around and find a suitable replacement, whether you are in the high street or snatching the odd five minutes at work to have a quick search online, you're sure to find a huge range of cricket equipment options at some competitive prices. The great thing is that you might be able to arrange having all the bits delivered to your work place so you don't have to worry about missing the postman - check with your workplace first!
When all of your new cricket equipment has arrived, you can unwrap it and soak up that new kit smell, try them on for size and give them a good run out to loosen up any of the stiffness that new products tend to have. A good session in the nets will surely do this and then when the items are worn in, you can relax knowing that come the first more serious match you play in, you have all the cricket equipment you will need to have a great cricket season and a really enjoyable summer too!
