Description
Give your cricket bat the care it truly deserves with Kookaburra Linseed Bat Oil. Crafted for natural willow, this oil seals in moisture while nurturing flexibility and strength—crucial for consistent hitting performance. A precise application strengthens vulnerable areas like the edges and toe, offering protection without adding excess weight. Whether starting the season or caring for your favourite batting companion, this essential formula keeps your willow prepared and responsive on the field.
Quick Application Guide
Follow this simple process to properly oil your bat and keep it in top condition:
-
Prepare the Bat
Lightly clean the blade with a soft cloth. Use fine sandpaper (180–200 grit) to smooth the playing surface—face, edges, and toe—avoiding the splice and stickers. -
Apply the Oil
Pour a small amount onto your finger or cloth—about the size of a 50-cent coin. Gently rub across the face, edges, and toe. Avoid the splice and sticker areas. -
Allow to Absorb
Lay the bat flat with the face up and let it rest for several hours or overnight to allow full oil penetration. -
Remove Excess Oil
Wipe away any leftover oil with a clean cloth to prevent stickiness. -
Repeat as Needed
It's recommended to oil your bat monthly during the season—or whenever it appears dry—based on usage and conditions.
All top coaches will agree that having the correct size equipment is crucial especially for junior players.

Too often junior players use bats that are too big for them. Bats that are too long prevent the bat being picked up correctly as the top of the handle gets in the way.
Gloves Sizing:
PLEASE NOTE - GLOVE SIZES ARE AN APPROXIMATION ONLY
6-8 Years - XS Junior
8-10 Years - Small Junior
10-12 Years - Junior
12-14 Years - Youths
15 Years and Above - Medium or Adult
It is important that gloves have a nice snug fit. If they are too loose the palm will bunch up and cause discomfort and they will wear out prematurely. With gloves it is acceptable to allow up to 10mm (1cm) of extra room at the end of the fingers.
Pads Sizing:
PLEASE NOTE - PAD SIZES ARE AN APPROXIMATION ONLY
Using Players Height -
120-135cm - XS Junior
130-145cm - Small Junior
140-155cm - Junior
150-165cm - Youths
170cm + - Medium or Adult
Pads are probably the most difficult to fit correctly. There is only limited room for error, and pads need to be fitted correctly to allow for a good amount of movement - There's nothing worse than being caught short on a quick single!! Ideally your knee should be centered in the knee roll and the "top hat" should not get in the way when playing your shots - particularly front foot shots.
Helmet Sizing:
With so many different brands of helmets available, it is important to check the circumference measurements within the different brand and helmets styles. To select the correct size, measure the circumference around the cap line (where a cap would sit). Most of our listed helmets will have a cm measurement guide to follow.
