To Colin Smith and his team who have produced "Katchet" fielding boards - you have brought the old slips cradle back into vogue with a much more portable and effective device.

I was first shown the device on our recent ashes tour. Since that time we have used the boards extensively with the Australian Cricket Team.

We have been able to use these on all surfaces and have found it to work well anywhere. The players have responded very well to the drills we use.

As a coach who is on the road for many months of the year, the "Katchet" cricket board is a welcome addition as it is light, durable and is easily transportable.

I believe it will be a welcome addition to any team or club's coaching equipment.

COACH, AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM

We have used the ‘Katchet’ this season at Durham C.C.C. and found it an extremely useful addition to our catching practice routines. 

It has been used by our wicket keeper to practice both stood up to the wicket and stood back. We have also used it for the slip cordon. It is excellent for working on reactions and is very versatile. 

We will be looking to use it again next year as it was very popular with the players.

‘The Katchet allows me to simulate match conditions during practice’
Kruger Van Wyk

“The Katchet is a smart innovation for the modern coach. It is simple to use and is designed to be easily packed to take wherever you need it.  

Colin has a done a great job in refining the product to provide realistic simulation for a wide variety of ground fielding and catching situations. The unpredictable but fair deviation off its surface will enable players of all levels to hone their catching skills and reflexes in almost any training environment.  

I would recommend the Katchet to all cricket coaches who want to see their players enjoy their training whilst improving their game.”
