Slip catching cradle

A slip catching cradle is a device used by cricketers to practice taking catches. It consists of long, thin ash lathes over a bowed metal frame and is commonly used at most cricket clubs.[1] It was invented by the Reverend Gilbert Harrison Bartlett, who died in 1959, and he never patented the design.[1]
