Cricket-Centre in Sports Directory

 

The Cricket Centre was established in 1973 as a cricket coaching and training centre at our still current head office address at 15 Dover St Albion. The centre was run by Peter Philpott a former Australian leg spinner, and it is said that he was the father of the flipper, the ball which Shane Warne has used so successfully to claim many of his test wickets. In 1977 Greg Chappell joined the team whilst playing for Queensland and Australia and the centre is renamed to reflect his involvement. The annual catalogue becomes the bible to cricketers worldwide, offering the biggest selection of the biggest brands. This coupled with a team of passionate and experienced cricketers sees our reputation founded on the ability to offer expert advice and friendly efficient service on all of the latest developments in cricket equipment. During the early 1990s the focus moved away from coaching and The Cricket Centre backed by years of experience became the market leader in direct cricket retailing. Our Melbourne store was opened at 43 Dudley Street through the acquisition ofBat & Ball. Ian Healy was appointed a director in 1997, and was instrumental in the expansion of the business. In 2004 the Cricket Centre was presented with the opportunity of opening a store at North Sydney Oval. Today the North Sydney oval is the venue for State one day cricket and Sydney Grade cricket. Our fifth specialist store, and second in Brisbane was opened at 130 Compton Rd Underwood for the start of the 2005 / 2006 season. This provided the south side of Brisbane with a specialist cricket store and a viable location for customers from the Gold Coast, Ipswich and Beaudesert regions. 2007 sees the Cricket Centre on the move again, this time with two new cricket only specialist stores opening in Melbourne. The first of which is the relocated Clayton store to a more suitable and customer friendly location, still in the suburb of Clayton, on the Princess highway. A new store in Ringwood located 200 metres off the Maroondah highway. Centro Ringwood gives us the opportunity to offer the biggest selection of the best cricket products available to this Cricket Mad area of Melbourne. Our continual upgrading of our secure website www.cricketcentre.com.au, gives customers new advanced search options and a more friendly secure member login to provide our customers with valuable information and a huge choice of products to make your cricket shopping fast, easy and secure.
