A new way into cricket
Serve & Six
No cricket experience needed. If you can hit a forehand, you can hit a six.
Built for racquet players
Fast rallies. Big swings. Everyone plays.
Serve & Six turns familiar racquet skills into a friendly cricket contest. A softer tennis ball, short innings and small teams make the first game easy to enjoy.
Start with Cricket 101Teams are formed on the day, with an experienced cricketer on each side
Five-over innings with six balls per over, batters in pairs
Everyone bats, and everyone bowls or serves
Bring your tennis racket — hit with it instead of a cricket bat if you prefer
Serve the ball underarm or overarm instead of bowling
A wicket costs five runs, but the batter stays in the game
