Cricket Bat Preparation

Sportsmart Melbourne can prepare your cricket bat for you, with services that provide oiling, pressing and optional Extratec (self-adhesive clear PU for added protection). These services will save you hours of manual preparation, but please note that once your bat is prepared it still requires further knocking in by hand, and oiling up to 3 to 4 times per season. 

If a bat is used in match without preparation, or is not prepared properly, it will quickly crack and split, and have a very shortened life span.
