About
Hi, my name is Richard Davenport and I have been involved in cricket all my life.
After helping build a thriving successful cricket business, I can draw on over 25 years of experience in all aspects of the cricket industry.
The time has now come for me to branch out on my own and hereby the Hardy Cricket Company was established in 2022.


The Hardy brand is for everyone. I have been making custom made cricket bats by hand for over 25 years for players on the First Class and on the International stage, whilst always maintaining as much time for the next generation coming through and all local and social cricketers worldwide and of all ages.
The Hardy Cricket range will cover all levels of cricketing ability for all keen cricketers using the most up to date materials of the highest standard.
By personally overseeing all aspects of the the Hardy Cricket brand, this means I have the ability to keep prices affordable so that it makes cricketing enjoyable for all.
By providing correct equipment and advice I hope to see many returning customers year after year whilst also gaining new customers through recommendations from my loyal customers and through the quality of my products, but most importantly through my approachable nature.
I look forward to being of service to you all for the foreseeable future.
'Better cricket for everyone!'
Welcome to Hardy Cricket.
Richard
