Our Story

Our Journey with Cricket Bats

 Lewis’s passion for cricket started from a young age, deeply rooted in his family where he would watch twice a week. This constant exposure to the game nurtured his passion, making cricket a massive part of his life. The turning point came with his first cricket bat – a vibrant yellow Woodworm Torch, the very model wielded by cricket legend Kevin Pietersen. This bat was not just a piece of sports equipment; it was the ignition of his passion for the sport.

Lewis's weekends remains dedicated to the sport, each game enhancing his understanding of cricket bats' craftsmanship and the essence of what constitutes a top level bat. Fuelled by curiosity, he ventured into bat repair and refurbishment of his own bats. It wasn’t long before this endeavour evolved from a mere hobby into a profound love for the artistry behind bat making. This craft went beyond repairing; it became about breathing new life into each piece of willow, preserving its story and legacy.

Our Philosophy: Every Bat Has a Second Inning

Cricket stands out in the sporting world for its approach to looking after your equipment. Unlike other sports where damaged gear is often discarded, cricket bats possess the remarkable potential for revival. At 4D Cricket, we hold a steadfast belief in the possibility of restoration, where most bats can be returned to a playable condition through skilled repair. This perspective challenges the throwaway culture, offering our customers the chance to rediscover the potential in what was thought to be lost. Our journey has shown us the incredible transformations possible, turning surprises into a regular occurrence and encouraging cricketers to think twice before parting with their cherished bats.

Through our story, 4D Cricket is not just sharing a passion for the game; we are inviting you to be part of a sustainable practice that celebrates the resilience and enduring spirit of cricket. Join us in embracing the art of giving bats their second innings.
