smoker Striker Sep 14, 2019 #2 How old? Soft or hard ball? I bought the bairn the Slazengers size 5 from SD and its absolutely fine for softball cricket. They just abuse them and outgrow them in no time.

I'd check out Decathlon at Team Valley or Just sports on Clayton Street in Newcastle and get something in the 50-100 quid region.

SAFC2403 Striker Sep 15, 2019 #6 Just make sure he picks it up first. Make sure he can pick it up and play a shot with only his top hand on the bat - if he cant do that its too heavy.
