The Yardy

What it is (and what you get)

The Yardy™ by C’mon Lads is a set of 12 numbered cricket bowling run-up markers (1–12) that help you lock in a consistent bowling start point. Set them once, start from the same spot each time, and keep your run-up routine simple.
In the box: 12 cricket bowling markers (each with a unique number), so every bowler in the team can have their own — with spares for the ones that “disappear”.
Unlike the usual two identical runup markers, The Yardy stops the borrowing, guessing, and no-ball chaos.

Amateur cricket

Welcome to amateur cricket, where blokes will spend “don’t tell the missus” money on a bat… then start their run-up from “somewhere near the sightscreen” and wonder why they’re bowling pies.
Funny how no one “forgets” their box — because the consequences are… memorable. Yet half the team turns up with a run-up start point based on vibes, then acts shocked when it’s no-ball city. Sort it out. Lock in your start mark.

​

You know the scenes:

  • Someone ploughs a line in the grass like they’re landscaping the oval… then can’t find it two balls later.

  • Next bowler looks at your “very unique” line… and it’s mysteriously identical to the other four lines that have appeared since warm-up. Now everyone’s guessing and pretending it’s “close enough.”

  • Someone spends another five minutes reverse-measuring their run-up like it’s a physics experiment… when the real issue is they just can’t find their mark.

  • Someone “borrows” a mate’s marker and suddenly you’re doing sprints between deliveries trying to get it back.

  • Two identical markers get tossed in the kit… and vanish into the same dimension as lost socks and 10mm sockets.

 

Most run-up markers are sold as a set of two and they all look exactly the same — which is perfect if you enjoy losing them.

​

Why the Yardy works (Teams and Juniors)

  • Unique number — pick it, own it, stop stealing your mate’s mark

  • Train properly — same start point, same rhythm, less front-foot drama

  • Spare markers included — with a set of 12 you basically never run out again (even when a few “disappear”)

  • Free hits at the worst time — nothing like your mate donating one in the final over and acting surprised

 

Junior cricket rules: everyone bowls, no hiding. So just get the set — every kid gets a marker, even the one who’s about to bowl “mystery pace” and call it strategy.

Quick recap

​12 numbered cricket bowling runup markers (1–12) that keep bowlers consistent, keep teams organised, and keep extras from outscoring half the batting lineup.
