Backyard Cricket Mug – The Bin Is the Wicket

$22.00

One hand one bounce, over the fence is six and out, and the bin is the wicket. A backyard cricket mug for the family captain who invented the rules.

Save for later ♡

Backyard cricket has only a few sacred laws. The most important? The wheelie bin is the wicket.

This mug makes it official, so there are no more arguments at the family barbie.

A Backyard Cricket Mug With the Ultimate Wicket

A wheelie bin stands proudly on a patch of dry summer lawn, a cricket bat leaning on it and a fuzzy tennis ball rolling in front.

It’s printed in a bold linocut style with olive green and ochre accents, and THE BIN IS THE WICKET carved in capitals underneath.

House Rules Apply

For many Australians, backyard cricket was where they first learned to bowl, bat and argue about LBW.

This is a gift for the family captain, the cricket tragic and anyone who has smashed a ball over the neighbour’s fence.

Delivery and care

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, to every state and territory by Australia Post, and shipping is free when you order 2 or more items. We only ship within Australia.

How is the design printed, and will it last?

Every mug is hand-printed in Australia using sublimation printing on an 11oz ceramic mug. We like to be upfront: like every sublimation print, the colours will gradually soften with use and washing. It is made for everyday drinking, and a favourite mug that has worn in a little is part of its charm.

How do I look after it?

The sublimation print is dishwasher safe, so you can load it up with the rest of the kitchen. To keep the colours looking fresh for longer, a hand wash with a soft sponge is kinder than a scourer.
