A legendary name in English cricket, Newbery have a reputation for quality that few can match.
It’s well deserved, too: their batmaking lineage goes back over a century and encompasses some of the most skilled makers in the history of the craft.
The story begins with Len Newbery, a master batmaker who was among the pioneers of cricket bat crafting techniques in the early 1900s. Len passed his skills on to his son, John, who quickly demonstrated his own prowess and became a respected figure within the industry.
In 1981, John struck out on his own and founded John Newbery Ltd, taking charge as master batmaker. It didn’t take long for his craftsmanship and eye for detail to pay dividends – he produced blades of such quality that players from around the world demanded Newbery bats.
John set the standard, and his team followed. To this day, long after his passing, every batmaker at the workshop knows the rule: only bats that would be good enough for John are good enough to bear the Newbery name.
Perfectly crafted with premium branding, there’s nothing classier than a Newbery bat. When you walk out to the crease with one in your hand, you feel that prestige, and with it comes a desire to perform at your best. Every innings is a chance to show what true quality looks like. That’s Newbery.

Newbery N-Series 2.0 Cricket Bat
Clear the ropes with ease wielding the Newbery N-Series 2.0 Cricket Bat in Blue, the second generation of the classic big-profile bat, now made from Grade 3 English Willow.
Designed for new cricketers and social players, the N-Series offers all the quality craftsmanship of a Newbery bat at a more affordable price – if you’re looking for value, it doesn’t get better than this.
Its full spine and slight incurves combine to produce the perfect blend of power and manoeuvrability, making it easy to play big shots at every opportunity.
The second-generation N 2.0 is a step up from the original, crafted from Grade 3 English Willow rather than Grade 4 and with a higher sweetspot for all-round shotmaking.
Sleek “N” stickers give a professional look whatever your level, and the bat’s available in a range of colours. Take your pick!
Newbery
Grade 3
Very good quality willow that offers a balance between performance and looks. A popular, middle-of-the-road option, Grade Three bats are produced in large numbers and often represent the best value for money of any grade. Cosmetically, as much as half of the blade can be coloured wood, and you might find small knots or specks on any area of the bat. The face should typically have at least five grains, but they might not be as straight as on higher grades.
Please note that these are typical characteristics. While we work closely with our partner brands to provide the best bats for you, we are unable to guarantee a specific number of grains or the overall appearance of the willow on individual bats.
