What BatFasters say...

“BatFast is a great way to engage cricket enthusiasts. It is the perfect entertainment offering for the amateur and a great training tool for the more experienced cricketer too. We are exploring ways to make better use of simulators for professional players and are excited by the direction the BatFast team are taking. Technology needs to be embraced and we’re thrilled about the prospects of this partnership.”

Gary Kirsten, South African Legend & World Cup-winning Head Coach

“Having BatFast at Brent Cross for reopening meant we saw a huge number of customers engaging with the 3 sports and the leaderboard element heightened this. Working with the BatFast team was easy from start to finish and we can’t wait to see them back at Brent Cross!“

Brent Cross, Marketing Manager

“We are constantly looking for creative ways to engage the public in our sport, and put more bats and balls in people’s hands, regardless of their age, gender or level of cricket experience. BatFast’s technology is a superb innovation and they have helped us make cricket fun, accessible and relevant to people who may not have otherwise thought or chosen to have a go at cricket. Would thoroughly recommend.”

England and Wales Cricket Board, Head of Participation and Growth Team

“The amount of people that have asked me to bowl one ball at them so that they can see what it would be like to face is unbelievable – and now it can happen throughout the United Kingdom. This technology allows people to see what the pros are up against whilst having an amazing time. I can’t wait to see how I get on!”

Darren Gough, England Legend

“We’ve been working with BatFast for many years. They and the service they provide is outstanding. They bring cricket to life and they have helped us to engage with thousands and thousands of young people. They have also helped us to monitor the impact of our family strategy.”

Durham County Cricket Club, Foundation Manager

“I’m not sure how I’d go facing Warney for 6 hours, but I reckon a lot of kids around the country would get stuck in for many hours around the grounds. Having used simulators, it’s not like having a normal bowling machine that’s set in the same position. These simulators can swing the ball in and out, leg spin, off-spin, whatever you may need to get ready for your next match. So, in terms of my preparation, it’s crucial.”

Chris Lynn, Australian International

“We had overwhelmingly positive feedback from our members. Its something that I myself was particularly excited about and with the way that our club is evolving and changing over time, something like this really does add some extra value; and its been great to see that each time its come back its got busier and busier, so yeah it has really added some value to us.”

David Lloyd, General Manager

“Just played on the BatFast Cricket Simulator at St Lawrence College. First of all, it was loads of fun, to hit Chris Jordan for four through the covers is always pleasing… The kids loved to bat against the simulator but, what also shone for me was the versatility of it, you can groove yourself, use it as for specific training when getting close to the season and you can recreate match situations where it’s you against the bowler. Thumbs up, well done, a good bit of kit.”

Geraint Jones, England Legend

“It was as close to reality as possible really. I’m a left-handed batter so I selected left-handed bowlers. I played Nathan Lyon’s ball to Kumar Sangakkara, it was tough, there were some good deliveries in there. I also faced Mitch Johnson against Alastair Cook, it certainly swung and recreated what happened in the game so yeah, it was realistic and good fun. I then faced Ryan Harris against Alastair Cook, so I had three tough decisions.”

Josh Hazlewood, Australian International

“I’m here testing out the tennis at BatFast in Brent Cross. I came down with my children and it’s been great fun to the point we’ve come three times this week. It’s just been awesome. My son loves tennis, and this just reignited his passion for tennis again. I would love to have BatFast back again at Brent Cross, Westfield or anywhere. Thank you so much for having us and allowing us to play…“

“We’re all out of lockdown after so many months, just playing BatFast is a great conversation starter. We haven’t been in contact with people, so it’s an amazing way of interacting with people. Playing BatFast Tennis has allowed me to unleash my stress from the last few months. The experience is great, I’d recommend BatFast Tennis to people it’s a great initiative, so thank you all for allowing us to have fun.“
