Product Overview
The Junior Crick Attack brings Sports Attack's patented vision technology to younger and developing batsmen, using a measured ball chute so the ball is never obscured on its way to the plate. This lets players get properly set and execute realistic trigger movements, sharpening timing and stroke play in a way that mimics facing a live bowler rather than a conventional machine.
Unlike many competitive machines, the Crick Attack platform is designed to use genuine leather cricket balls, giving batsmen true bat feel and instant feedback on whether they've middled the shot. The machine can also run synthetic dimple balls, and the throwing wheel compound is engineered not to damage new leather balls during extended net sessions.
At the heart of the design is a three-wheel throwing head that pinches the ball at three contact points, giving coaches control over velocity and spin in three dimensions. This construction allows the machine to deliver the ball seam-up and produce authentic swing and seam movement through dial adjustments alone, with no need to angle or slope the machine head between deliveries.
Built for club and practice environments, the machine features a heat-treated alloy, weather-resistant aluminum throwing head and a powder-coated, rust-proof steel frame for season after season of reliable use. Horizontal movement of the throwing head between bowls keeps batters alert and unable to anticipate the next delivery, maximizing the value of limited practice time.
For transport, the machine tilts to un-socket its legs and rolls easily on two heavy-duty wheels, making it simple to move on and off the field. Optional accessories such as a weatherproof machine cover and a portable Solo Feeder with adjustable bowl intervals extend the machine's practicality for coaches and clubs running structured practice sessions.
