I've just seen you retweet the zinger stumps, are they any good? Have they sorted out the breaking issues?

I'm not aware of any breaking issues? The bails were delayed by over 6 months to the UK because the manufacturer had identified a potential fault with 1% of units so decided to start again to ensure the product was right. I assume their attitude towards the stumps will be the same.

The stumps are very much for back garden junior use. They are not senior size and are fixed into a base so can be used on hard indoor surfaces, driveways etc.

Oh I see, I was under the impression that they broke if a ball hit them! Shame about the stumps being junior size though.

The stumps or the bails? We used the flashing bails for the second half of the summer, no problems. The stumps i have not seen yet other than the example at the trade show. But intended for kids so probably unlikely to take a high speed impact.

Sold 60+ sets this Summer, obviously i don't know all of those were used in hard ball cricket, but i imagine most were, including the Dublin Sixes organised by Kevin O'Brien. We provided them with the bails for the tournament in September.
