The dad who bowls at his kids for an hour and spends twenty minutes of it standing the stumps back up
What it is
Wooden cricket stumps on a spring-loaded metal base, so they take a hit and come back up. Sold from Asquith, New South Wales, with free delivery, thirty-day returns and more than ten in stock.
Why we picked it
This is the upgrade from the plastic set: real timber, a base heavy enough to hold in wind, and a spring that means nobody walks down the pitch to re-plant them after every ball. If he bowls at the kids or practises in the nets, this is the version that survives.
