Home / Our story
The Cricket Cooler exists because dragging an esky, stumps, bats and rugs from the car in separate trips is a rubbish way to start an afternoon.
The idea came about when we struggled to drag all of our stuff from the car to the park one day with family and friends – coolers, picnic rugs, hampers, bats, balls and the rest. You know the drill! We knew we could help solve this, and in the process make something really cool and useful at the same time.
You only need to take a look at any beach in Australia, or drive past the local park, and you will see children, teenagers and adults playing our beloved sport, cricket. Instead of stumps they will use a bin, a body board, a chair or any other item that can double as a wicket.
To kill two birds with one stone, we imagined and designed the Cricket Cooler®, which perfectly reflects the Australian culture – good times with friends and family, sport, recreation and the outdoors lifestyle.
