Cricket Netting & Surfaces

From the grass-roots clubs through to professional level training facilities and stadiums, we want our products to support the growth of the sport and the level to which it is played. Gabba Sports Netting and Surfacing are one of Australia's leading suppliers of cricket netting and surfaces. We are trusted by first class facilities around the world, from the newly constructed Victorian Cricket and Community Centre in Melbourne to Dubai Sports City in the UAE.

Gabba Cricket comprehensively addresses all design aspects, contributing to the development of the ultimate outdoor cricket facility, including cricket net installation. Our solutions cater to various budgets and club or association requirements, all aligning with Cricket Australia guidelines.

Outdoor Cricket Facilities

Turf Block System

Gabba Sports unique design with Turf cages manufactured in house, this system is completely free from posts within the batting and bowling areas. This system is held by a high tension cable system by poles on the outer of the facility, allowing the cricket netting cage system to be easily drawn away or set up.

The design is ideal for multipurpose facilities — nets can be fully retracted to open the space for fielding drills or functions, then quickly re-deployed for practice sessions.

Soft Netting System

The Gabba Sports soft netting system incorporates internal lane posts. Lane cricket nets have the option to still be retracted but typically wouldn't use this system for multipurpose facilities. This is Gabba Sports most economical cricket system with the option to incorporate our retractable net tidy boxes.

Retractable Netting System

With this cricket net installation, you have the flexibility to fully retract the nets, creating an open space for fielding drills or functions. At the same time, it provides the convenience of quickly setting up some or all lanes for cricket practice with ease.

Synthetic Internal Postless System

The Synthetic Internal Postless System replicates the design of the Turfblock system and, like its counterpart, eliminates the need for posts within the batting and bowling areas. Supported by a high-tension cable system attached to outer poles, this design is not only cost-effective in both manufacture and installation but also highly versatile.

Portable Cricket Cages

Ideal for schools, clubs and multi-use ovals, our portable cage is a fully enclosed, freestanding training lane that moves where you need it and protects nearby spaces.

Gabba Retractable Storage Tidy Boxes

Our company's founder designed a cricket net system that can be stored easily and safely, protected from the weather and vandals. This tried, tested, and proven system has been used in cricket facilities for over 30 years, making it the world's best demountable and portable cricket netting system.

Chain Wire Facilities

Gabba Sports offers chain wire cricket facility construction — a robust, permanent solution for clubs and associations looking for a low-maintenance outdoor cricket training environment. Custom designed to suit your site and requirements.

Indoor Cricket Net Installation

With a wide range of designs covering all safety aspects, we offer cricket nets installation in existing sports halls, temporary marquees or purpose-built building structures. Incorporating retractable sports netting giving you the option of a completely open undercover sporting area, Gabba Sports has the perfect solution for your indoor cricket facility.

Indoor Sports Courts

Multi-Use Indoor Cricket Courts

Manufactured to World Indoor Cricket Federation (WICF) specifications, Gabba Sports Netting and Surfaces custom manufactures and installs complete indoor cricket and sports courts. Gabba TEST surfaces are built to last extensive use across all sports, incorporating line markings and zipper access to create an adaptable playing field.

Gabba Sports have installed indoor sports courts all over the world. Recent projects have taken the team to the UAE, where they completed four courts for Danube Sports World, the biggest air dome in the Middle East, and the first ever indoor sports court and cricket training lanes for Lords Indoor in Dallas, Texas.

Sight Screens

Portable Sight Screen

Our portable cricket sight screens provide professional-grade visibility and flexibility for cricket grounds, clubs, and schools. Designed for quick setup and easy mobility, these screens ensure a clear, contrasting background for batsmen in all match formats.

Vertical Retracting Fabric Sight Screen

Equip your venue with a vertical retracting fabric sight screen that delivers professional-level performance and flexibility. The screen deploys in seconds to deliver a crisp, high-contrast background for batters, then retracts neatly when not required.

Side Retractable Fabric & Netting Sight Screen

Upgrade your ground with a high-performance side-mounted retractable solution that delivers both functional and logistical advantages. Whether hosting cricket matches where a contrast-rich sight screen is essential or accommodating AFL and other sports, this solution offers maximum versatility.

Rotating & Fixed Sight Screen

Choose between fixed or rotating panel sight screens to meet your venue's needs and align with Cricket Australia's facility guidelines. Whether you opt for a permanent fixed white surface or a pivoting panel system offering white/black transitions, our solutions deliver reliable performance.

Cricket Surfaces

We offer a number of professional grade artificial grass options for cricket pitch installation. All options are suitable for individual cricket pitch installation or to provide full facility cover. They give a high-quality playing surface and are specifically designed to mimic the ball bounce of real turf.

Gabba synthetic cricket wickets are trusted by first class facilities around the world, from the newly constructed Victorian Cricket and Community Centre in Melbourne, to the Dubai Sports City Complex in the UAE. All our wickets are quality controlled and backed with a product warranty.

Within these options we also offer sewn parallel white crease lines. By incorporating white lines of artificial turf within the roll, you can mark out your facility or wicket without the use of paint.

Specialised Cricket Pitches

Beige Cricket Wicket

Our beige cricket wicket is made to the same specifications as our TEST surface, using quality raw materials with the highest possible industry UV stabilisation. Like the TEST surface, this wicket gives realistic ball bounce with consistency, increasing the safety for the batsmen. The beige colour is ideal for facilities that need a more natural look.

Cricket Pitch Map

Our cricket surface installation is ideal for a facility catering to a wide range of athletic ability. The surface itself is made to the same specifications as our TEST surface. Zones are coloured to give the bowler enhanced visual feedback of their performance — not just perfect for a beginner, this is also ideal for coaching sessions.

Spin Wicket

Our spin wicket is a feat of sporting technology and state-of-the-art engineering. Made from a specialised rubber composite, this surface replicates the roughened condition of the pitch following the preparation of the surface by the preceding fast bowlers. This roughened wicket provides the extra grip needed for off-spin and leg-spin techniques. This cricket pitch installation is an absolute must for training facilities looking to cater for spin bowlers.

Drop-In Wickets

Our Drop-In Wickets are the perfect option for a multipurpose facility wanting to make alternate use of their grounds outside the cricket season. These pitches are installed at the start of the cricket season, and can then be lifted out during the off-season to facilitate other sporting activities. Available in junior or senior sizes, with your choice of TEST or SHIELD surfacing.

Junior Drop-In Wicket — 22m x 2m
Senior Drop-In Wicket — 24m x 2.4m

Cricket Centre Wickets

We offer a premium range of TEST and SHIELD surfaced standard wickets in custom sizes. A majority of Councils, Schools, Clubs, associations and building contractors are installing 9 foot (3.66m) wide wickets, now classed as a standard size. 6 foot (1.83m) wickets are also available.

Hybrid H3 Wicket

Our Hybrid H3 wicket combines the qualities of a natural and a synthetic pitch. This innovative design uses a high-quality synthetic grass filled with natural soil, smoothed to below the level of the pile height. The result is a low maintenance surface that is fast to prepare, but responds to changes in weather conditions much like a natural pitch.

The variations mimicked by this wicket are very similar to the spin-friendly pitches prepared in the subcontinent. Installed in the Bupa National Cricket Centre in Brisbane, this wicket has been used by the Australian team in preparations for campaigns overseas.
