“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

The best place ever to practice in private and with a wide range of bowling styles. An hour session is ideal, although my son’s arms were tired after hitting so many balls. If you, your team, or your child needs to practice this place is ideal. It’s just you and the balls! The machine is consistent, and accurate and allows you to practice all styles of bowling. Just brilliant! It was also nice to have a warm welcome!

The most fun playing cricket I have had in years! For someone who used to play regularly as a kid, to join as a member here, it’s worth the trip and the membership. Most nets are too expensive to hire

Google Review from BatFast User

“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

“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.”
