Carry It or Wheel It: a Two Bat Wheelie Duffle in Kahuna Design
Overview
The Kookaburra WD2000 wheelie duffle cricket bag in the Kahuna design is a First Class level bag from the 2027 Kookaburra luggage range. It works as a duffle you carry on your back or, with the straps detached, as a wheelie. It holds 81 litres, weighs 2.10kg and is made from 600d and ripstop material.
It has an integral bat compartment for two bats, external pockets for two batting pads and side mounted heavy duty wheels. That makes it a flexible bag for club and representative cricketers who carry a full kit.
The Kahuna design matches Kookaburra's Kahuna range of bats and protection. Pick one up now and you will be set for winter nets and the April start.
Features
- Detachable carry straps: wear it as a duffle, or remove the straps and use it as a wheelie.
- Padded airflow mesh backed straps: comfortable to carry on your back.
- Integral bat compartment (x 2 bats): room for two bats, kept apart from your kit.
- External batting pad pockets (x 2 pads): pads ride on the outside, freeing space inside.
- Side mounted heavy duty wheels x 2: reinforced, and set wide for increased lateral stability.
- Rubberised base with domed feet: durable underneath and able to stand up.
- Mesh pockets: a rear pocket for straps or extra storage, and a zipped external mesh pocket.
Design and Materials
The WD2000 is made from 600d and ripstop material. Ripstop fabric is woven to stop small tears from spreading, and a durable heavy duty rubberised base protects the bottom of the bag. Domed feet let the bag stand.
It measures 900mm x 300mm x 300mm and holds 81 litres. The padded, airflow mesh backed straps let you carry it like a backpack. When you would rather roll it, detach the straps and store them in the rear external mesh pocket. The reinforced heavy duty wheels are side mounted, which Kookaburra say increases lateral stability.
An integral bat compartment holds two bats. Two external pockets take your batting pads, and a zipped external mesh pocket holds smaller items.
This listing is the Kahuna design. The WD2000 is also made in a Demon design.

VKS Review
The Kookaburra WD2000 wheelie duffle cricket bag gives you two bags in one. Carry it on your back up the pavilion steps, then pop the straps away and wheel it across the car park.
The two bat compartment and outside pad pockets make it a good fit for club and representative players. If you only need room for one bat, the WD4000 adds an internal shelf system at a lower price. You can also visit our London store in Ealing to see it before you buy.
