Local Cricket Bat Maker's 'Enigma' Blade Used in Ashes
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Jack Konnis, a cricket bat maker from Norwood, celebrates a significant milestone as his handcrafted Enigma blade is used by Australian test cricket debutant Jake Weatherald in a recent Ashes match. Konnis, who started JK Cricket in his parents shed at fifteen, has built a reputation for precision and passion. He feels indebted to Weatherald for showcasing his craftsmanship, as they first met when Weatherald was sixteen, and Konnis repaired bats for local players. Balancing his bat-making with his full-time job as an occupational therapist, Konnis hopes to grow JK Cricket into a full-time business, with Weatherald set to use his Enigma blade again in the upcoming second test match against England.
