Bails are two smaller sticks placed on top of the three stumps to form a wicket.

Bats:

Bats are varying the type of bat used according to the ability of the players. Options (from easier to harder) include foam bats, plastic cricket style bats and traditional cricket bats.

Helmets:

Batting helmets with face guards should be worn whenever hard balls are being used.

Batting tee:

You can use an adjustable batting tee (low or high) to introduce batting. If batting tees are not available, you could use stacked marker cones as an alternative.

Gloves:

When hard cricket balls are being used, batters should wear protective gloves.

Wickets (stumps):

You can use plastic or wooden stumps, with or without bails on top. If these are not available, you can use upturned bins, buckets or similar targets.

Targets:

You can use a range of targets to help develop throwing, bowling and batting accuracy. These might include tape or chalk on walls, painted or taped plywood (or similar), buckets, hoops or upturned benches.
