Encyclopedia > Cricket nets

Cricket nets are practice nets used by batsmen and bowlers to warm up and/or improve their techniques. They consist of a cricket pitch (natural or artificial) surrounded along its lengths and behind the batsman by netting. The bowling end is left open.

Darren Gough bowling A bowler in the sport of cricket is usually a player whose speciality is bowling. ... A cricket pitch is the central strip of the playing area between the wickets. ...


The nets serve to stop the ball travelling across a field, ideal for practises and warm-ups, and also save the need for a wicket-keeper should the batsman miss the ball.


Nets are found at all serious cricket-centres.
