Our story

Built by cricketers. For cricketers.

Topline opened in Bayswater in 1995 with two indoor lanes and a small bat-prep workshop. Today we run nine lanes, a pro shop, four program streams and three international tours a year — and we still prep every premium bat by hand.

The story

Three decades, one obsession.

Topline started as a single shopfront on Mountain Highway. A retired first-grade cricketer with a back injury, two indoor lanes, and a workshop bench in the corner where he prepped bats for friends.

Word got around. The lanes filled out. By 2003 we'd added a pro shop and started running junior holiday camps that filled within an hour. By 2010 the workshop had become the showroom and we'd added the first of our international coaching panel.

Today, 30+ years in, Topline is still independent and still cricketer-run. Same obsession, bigger room — build the cricketers we wish someone had built us.
