From Essex to Australia – how our cricket bat blades played a starring role in the T20
‘England secure legacy among nation’s greatest sides’.
‘England win T20 World Cup after Stokes masterclass and stunning bowling’.
The headlines spoke volumes for England’s fantastic T20 success after the country toasted World Cup success at the hands of Pakistan.
The Sunday morning scenes from Melbourne were a joy for any cricket fan to behold – and this was certainly true for our team.
JS Wright & Sons are the world’s largest and oldest established supplier of English cricket bat willow – with around 75% of the world’s cricket bats made from their blades.
From the victorious T20 tournament, we have supplied the wood for bats made by SG Cricket Bats and SS TON Cricket Bats among others.

Player-wise, that means Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Alex Hales, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan and Phil Salt – plus many more from other international teams – were among those using cricket bats that started life here in Essex.
There are so many reasons behind sporting success – individual brilliance, team spirit and sometimes even a bit of good fortune.
But every time we watch a big cricket tournament, we smile with pride at the role that we have played in contributing to a team’s success.
