EJ Cairns – Limited Edition Labelled Bats
We are proud to announce a collaboration with famed Australiana Outback Painter Edward J Cairnduff (Aka EJ Cairns). Ed has produced two magnificent original paintings for Lyrebird Cricket titled ‘The Kelly Outback Series’. He has graciously allowed us to copy and turn them into a limited edition label run.
Each bat has a facsimile of Ed’s signature and is individually numbered. Lyrebird Cricket is absolutely delighted with the results and is very honoured that Ed has allowed us to reproduce his fine works as cricket bat labels.
These limited edition, handmade, grade 1 and specially labelled cricket bats now available. Cost $750.

Lyrebird Cricket is pleased to announce the new ‘Wield the Willow’ brand of Imported part made English willow cricket bats.
