FAQs 

Q: What is the difference between senior bails and junior bails?
A: Senior bails (like the Kookaburra Pro Bails Senior) measure 10.8 cm (4.25 inches) in length and weigh approximately 12-13 grams each, conforming to ICC regulations for adult cricket. Junior bails are shorter at 9.5 cm (3.75 inches) and lighter at 8-9 grams, designed for junior cricket stumps which are proportionally smaller. Using the correct size ensures proper fitment and performance.

Q: How often should cricket bails be replaced?
A: Cricket bails should be replaced when showing signs of damage, splintering, or uneven wear that might affect their performance. For club cricket with regular weekly matches, a new set each season is typically sufficient. Professional and high-level competitive cricket often requires more frequent replacement to ensure optimal performance and compliance with regulations. 

Q: Are these bails suitable for use with LED Zing bails bases?
A: No, the Kookaburra Pro Bails Senior are traditional wooden bails and not compatible with LED Zing technology. LED Zing bails have specific electronic components embedded within a specialized design. If you require illuminated bails for twilight or night cricket, specific LED bails must be purchased separately.

Q: Do umpires provide bails for matches, or should teams supply their own?
A: For official league and tournament matches, umpires typically provide the bails as part of standard match equipment. However, for club practices, friendly matches, or as backup, teams should maintain their own set of regulation bails. The Kookaburra Pro Bails Senior are identical to those used in professional competition, ensuring consistency between practice and match conditions.
