Kookaburra WD2000 Wheelie Duffle Bag: Match Day Ready Cricket Storage
Overview
The Kookaburra WD2000 wheelie duffle bag is a hybrid cricket bag for club and performance players who need both duffle portability and wheelie stability. Made from durable 600d and Ribstop fabric, it measures 900mm x 300mm x 300mm and holds up to two bats in its dedicated compartment.
The side mounted wheels and rubberised base with domed feet keep the bag stable when you park it at the boundary. Detachable padded straps let you switch to carrying it over one shoulder for the short walk between the car park and the pavilion.
As the cricket season runs from April to September in the UK, a bag that switches between wheelie and duffle mode earns its place in the car boot. You get the ease of rolling it across a car park and the option to sling it over a shoulder once you reach the steps into the clubhouse.
Features
- Detachable straps convert the bag between wheelie and duffle carry in seconds, useful when you park close to the ground and want to walk the last stretch.
- A two bat compartment keeps your bats separated from pads and boots, so a wet pad does not sit against your blade.
- Side mounted wheels sit clear of the base, so the bag stays balanced when you pull it over uneven ground near the nets.
- The rubberised base with domed feet keeps the bag upright between innings, rather than tipping over on the boundary edge.
- Padded airflow mesh straps spread the load across your shoulder on the walk from the car park.
- External mesh pockets with a zip closure give you a spot for keys, a phone or spare grips without opening the main compartment.
- A rear mesh pocket stores the straps once you switch to wheelie mode, so nothing drags on the ground.
- A cushioned back panel adds comfort if you carry it as a duffle for a full session.
Design and Materials
The WD2000 is built from 600d and Ribstop fabric, a combination chosen for resistance to abrasion and tearing. This matters for a bag that gets dropped on tarmac car parks and dragged across gravel paths to the nets every week of the season.
The stitching around the wheel housings and strap anchor points is reinforced, since these are the areas that take the most repeated strain on a wheelie bag. The zips on the external pockets run smoothly and sit under a small overlap of fabric to keep light rain off the contents.
Key Technologies
600d and Ribstop Construction: This fabric blend resists abrasion and tearing, so the bag holds up to being dropped, dragged and stacked in a kit room week after week.
Detachable Strap System: The padded straps unclip in seconds, letting you switch between wheelie and duffle carry without extra tools or fiddly buckles.
Side Mounted Wheel System: Wheels are set into the sides rather than the base, which improves lateral stability when you pull the bag over uneven ground.
Rubberised Domed Base: The reinforced base lets the bag stand upright on its own, so it does not topple over when left standing at the boundary.

VKS Review
The Kookaburra WD2000 wheelie duffle bag suits club players who want one bag that covers both a short walk from the car and a longer roll across a gravel car park. The two bat compartment and ventilated pad pockets keep gear organised, which matters most for players who play twice a week through the season.
Players who only ever carry their kit a few steps from the boot to the changing room may find a simpler duffle bag lighter and cheaper. For anyone who regularly wheels their kit across a full car park or between grounds, the WD2000's wheels and stable base are worth the extra weight. You can also visit our London store in Ealing to try this before you buy.
Q&A Section
What is the Kookaburra WD2000 wheelie duffle bag best suited for?
It suits club and performance players who need to carry a full kit including two bats and pads. The detachable straps and wheels give you two carry options in one bag. It is heavier than a basic duffle, so it is less suited to players who only carry a small kit.
Is the Kookaburra WD2000 good for two players sharing kit?
Yes, the two bat compartment and separate pad pockets make it practical for two players to share one bag. The external mesh pockets give each player a spot for smaller items. It works best when both players have similar sized pads and boots.
Can the WD2000 be carried as a normal duffle bag?
Yes, the padded straps detach from the wheelie frame so you can carry it over one shoulder like a standard duffle. This is useful for short distances or when stairs rule out using the wheels. The cushioned back panel helps on longer carries.
Does the WD2000 fit pads as well as bats?
Yes, it has external ventilated pad pockets separate from the main bat compartment. This keeps damp pads away from your bats and other gear. The ventilation helps pads dry out between sessions rather than sitting sealed inside the main compartment.
How much can the Kookaburra WD2000 hold?
At 900mm x 300mm x 300mm, it holds a full kit including two bats, pads, boots and training gear. The separate pockets mean you are not relying on one large compartment for everything. Players with a lot of extra kit such as multiple bats may still find it fills up quickly.
Which colourways does the Kookaburra WD2000 come in?
The WD2000 comes in Black/Neon Green, Black/Grey and Black/Bone. All three use the same 600d and Ribstop construction and specification. Stock levels vary by colourway, so check availability before ordering a specific option.
Should junior players buy the WD2000 or a smaller bag?
Junior players are usually better suited to a smaller junior wheelie bag, since the WD2000 is sized for a full adult kit. A smaller bag is easier for a junior to manage on their own. Our London team can advise on the right size if you visit in store.
