Get down for the final week of Tricky Wicket Malvern!!
Our first pilot site will conclude this Sunday night.

We have relished in the greeting of cricket enthusiasts and sporting lovers from across Melbourne and beyond to our beloved venue.

Tricky Wicket may be closing the doors on our Pilot site, but we are certainly not ‘out’ of the hospitality game. We are working hard to bring Tricky Wicket 2.0 to you in a new location, which will be a ‘hit-for-six’ experience.

So with that, it’s not goodbye forever, it’s just goodbye for now.

Our final day of operation is 2 June, closing at 7pm. Come down to celebrate the closing of a chapter with great food and plenty of batting fun!

HOLIDAY TRADING: Closed January 3 - 7. Re-opening January 10th with normal trading hours.

General F&Q

All bookings have the option to play cricket during their booking time. There is no need to book cricket separate from your normal reservation. When you arrive and are seated at your table, each table has a QR code where you need to register those who would like to have a turn in the nets. This puts you in the que to play as soon as a net becomes available. Each person will play 2 overs, two turns of 6 balls each. Then you can return to your table to enjoy some more food and drinks, and if your group decides to play again, you can let a staff member know and they will put you back in the que to play again. Tricky Wicket is a great place to have any kind of social gathering with great food, delicious drinks and some great fun in the nets with your family and friends!

Yes, there are 5 skill levels, including different speed levels and spins.

Of course. Get in touch and we help you out.

Walk-ins are welcome! But we recommend bookings just to guarantee a spot!

No, we use softer balls than a normal cricket ball, the speed is adjustable. However, in order to play we will ask you to sign a waiver. And intoxicated people are not allowed in the nets.
