If a bat is classed as Pre – Prepared or Knocked in is it ready to play with?

No, this means that they it is part prepared in the factory, including oiling, pressing under a roller and some hand mallet knocking in. We, along with the bat manufacturer still recommend some further knocking in with a bat mallet around the perimeter of the face of the bat and some gentle net practice against an older, softer cricket ball before full match use.
Where applicable products may have the following information in the description…
KNOCKED IN – if noted YES then the bat is fully factory prepared, with only gentle net practice required prior to match use. Where a bat is described as PART this means that it has been pre-prepared in the factory but is NOT ready to play. In this instance, please use the About Bats link at the top of each page for advice and notes on the “Knocking In” procedure.
PRE-PREPARED – part prepared by the manufacturer, including oiling and additional pressing under a factory roller. These bats are not fully prepared and are not ready to play. Please use the About Cricket Bats link at the bottom of each page for advice and notes on the “Knocking In” procedure you need to carry out prior to use.
READY TO PLAY – whilst this does mean the bat can be played with right away, please see our note below as we believe the more you prepare and look after your bat the better it will serve you in terms of performance and lifespan.

Do I have to order RH (right-handed player) and LH (left-handed player) batting pads and gloves separately?

No – all batting pads and gloves are sold in pairs. Some are ambidextrous and suit both styles of batting, but just like shoes, they are always sold in pairs.

How do I tell if I want RH (right-handed player) or LH (left-handed player) equipment?

You need to know how the player stands when facing the bowler. If their left shoulder is facing the bowler, the player is classed as a right hander and vice-versa.
