Highlights

Buy spares before you need them

Bails are small, wooden and land in long grass. A club that owns exactly two ends up crawling around the outfield mid-match. They cost very little - buy several sets and keep a spare pair in the bag.

Standard size

Sized to sit in the grooves on a regulation stump set.

Wooden

The traditional material, light enough to be dislodged cleanly by a ball or a glove.

Sold as spares

The item most often lost off a cricket ground.

Regulation reference

A full-size bail is 10.95 cm overall, with a 5.40 cm barrel and 3.50 cm and 2.06 cm spigots.

Product description

About this product

These are replacement cricket bails.

A bail is a small turned piece of wood with a spigot at each end, resting in the grooves on top of two adjacent stumps. Its job is to fall – it is the visible, unarguable evidence that the wicket has been put down, and every decision for bowled, stumped and run out at that end depends on it.

Because it is small and light and lands wherever it is flicked, it is the item most often lost on a cricket field. A club with exactly two bails per set spends time it does not have crawling through outfield grass. Buying spares is one of the few purchases in cricket that is simply obvious.

The Laws specify the dimensions of a full-size bail: 10.95 cm overall, with a barrel of 5.40 cm and spigots of 3.50 cm and 2.06 cm. Those proportions matter – a bail that is too heavy will not be dislodged by a light touch, and one that is too light blows off in a breeze, which is why the Laws allow umpires to dispense with bails in high wind.

Wood is the traditional material and it has the right combination of lightness and heft. Keep bails dry between matches; wooden bails left damp swell slightly and stop sitting properly in the grooves.

Questions

Good to know

How many should I buy?

More than you think. Bails are the most frequently lost item on a cricket field - small, light, and they land wherever they are flicked. Two spare pairs in a club bag is sensible; one pair is optimistic.

What are the regulation dimensions?

Under the Laws, a full-size bail is 10.95 cm overall, with a 5.40 cm barrel and spigots of 3.50 cm and 2.06 cm. Junior dimensions are left to national governing bodies rather than set in the Laws.

Will they fit my stumps?

They are sized for standard full-size stumps, where the grooves are cut to take a regulation bail. Junior stump sets sometimes use smaller bails - tell us your stumps and we will check.

What happens in strong wind?

The Laws allow the umpires to dispense with bails altogether if the wind keeps blowing them off. In that case the umpires decide by other means whether the wicket was put down.

Why are bails wooden?

Because the weight is right. A bail has to be light enough to be dislodged by a glancing touch and heavy enough not to blow off in an ordinary breeze. Wood sits in that window naturally.

How should I store them?

Dry. Wooden bails left damp swell slightly and then sit badly in the stump grooves - either too tight to be dislodged cleanly or rocking loose. Keep them in the bag, not in a wet outfield.
