The GRAY-NICOLLS GN Crest English Willow Cricket Bat is designed for players who value effortless stroke play, exceptional balance and an ultra-light pickup. Crafted from quality English Willow and handcrafted in Australia, the Crest combines a refined profile with outstanding manoeuvrability, making it an ideal choice for batters who rely on timing, placement and quick bat speed.
Featuring a mid profile, even bow and rounded POWERCURVE face, the Crest enhances the feel and feedback of every stroke while maintaining a remarkably light pickup. Its medium edges provide a balanced blend of performance and control, allowing players to play with confidence all around the ground. With a refreshed design for the 2026/27 Australian cricket season, the Crest continues to deliver the premium craftsmanship synonymous with Australian-made Gray-Nicolls bats.
