Description

GM Diamond Original BS55 Cricket Bat 2026 – Short Handle

The Ben Stokes Bat. BS55 – The Ben Stokes Range.

Crafted for the Uncompromising

The GM Diamond Original BS55 Cricket Bat 2026 is created for players who refuse to compromise on performance, quality or intent.

Developed in conjunction with England star Ben Stokes, the Diamond has become one of Gunn & Moore's most recognisable cricket bats. For 2026, the legendary profile returns with refreshed graphics inspired by Stokes' distinctive tattoo design, creating a bat that looks every bit as powerful as it performs.

Manufactured in England from carefully selected Prime English Willow, the Diamond Original combines premium willow quality with a beautifully balanced profile designed for the complete all-round stroke-maker.

The Ben Stokes BS55 Range

Ben Stokes has built his career around intensity, power and the ability to influence a game in virtually any situation.

The BS55 Diamond range reflects that approach.

Whether you're looking to dominate the bowling, counterattack under pressure or build a long innings, the Diamond's versatile shape provides an excellent combination of power, balance and control.

The refreshed 2026 Diamond livery continues to feature design elements inspired by Stokes' unique tattoos, maintaining the distinctive appearance that has become synonymous with his GM bats.

Traditional L555 Blade Length

For 2026, the Diamond returns to GM's traditional L555 blade length, combined with a 295mm handle to create a classic Short Handle configuration.

The L555 design provides a substantial blade while maintaining excellent overall balance, making the Diamond comfortable in the hands for both controlled stroke play and aggressive hitting.

Mid Swell – Built for All-Round Stroke Play

At the heart of the Diamond profile is its beautifully positioned mid swell.

This centralised power zone makes the Diamond exceptionally versatile, providing excellent performance for front-foot and back-foot players alike.

The profile is particularly suited to all-round batters who want the freedom to score in every direction rather than being restricted to one particular style of play.

Whether you're driving through the covers, punching off the back foot, pulling through mid-wicket or taking the aerial option, the Diamond is designed to provide power throughout the hitting area.

Traditional Full Blade Profile

The traditional full blade profile ensures plenty of willow remains behind the hitting area.

Rather than aggressively removing material from the back of the blade, the Diamond maintains a substantial profile that gives the bat an imposing appearance and provides the power serious players demand.

Combined with its balanced weight distribution, the Diamond delivers a reassuringly solid feel without sacrificing manoeuvrability.

Flowing Contoured Spine

One of the defining characteristics of the Diamond is its flowing contoured spine.

The spine transitions smoothly through the blade, helping distribute the bat's mass efficiently while contributing to its outstanding balance and pickup.

This carefully shaped profile allows the Diamond to feel responsive in the hands while retaining plenty of wood through the main hitting zone.

F4.5 Face Profile

The Diamond Original features GM's F4.5 face profile, complementing the traditional full shape of the blade.

This profile works alongside the mid swell and contoured spine to create a substantial hitting area designed to provide confidence when taking on high-quality bowling.

Powerarc Bow Face

The Powerarc bow face profile adds another dimension to the Diamond's shape.

The carefully engineered bow contributes to the overall balance and feel of the bat while complementing the full blade profile and centrally positioned hitting zone.

The result is a modern performance bat with the characteristics serious cricketers expect from a premium GM blade.

Prime English Willow

The GM Diamond Original 2026 is manufactured from carefully selected Prime English Willow, offering the quality expected from one of GM's premium bat specifications.

The willow is selected to provide an excellent combination of appearance, performance and weight before being shaped and finished by Gunn & Moore's experienced bat makers in England.

For serious club, representative, Premier and First Grade players, the Original specification provides premium willow quality designed for high-level cricket.

Premium Halo Grip

New for the Diamond range is the GM Halo Grip, the same grip style used by Ben Stokes.

Designed to provide excellent traction and a secure connection between the player's hands and the bat, the Halo Grip helps maintain control through both conventional stroke play and aggressive hitting.

It also completes the premium appearance of the 2026 Diamond.

Made in England

The GM Diamond Original BS55 2026 is proudly manufactured in England, continuing Gunn & Moore's long tradition of premium English cricket bat manufacturing.

From willow selection and precision shaping through to handle fitting, finishing and quality control, the Diamond benefits from GM's combination of advanced manufacturing technology and generations of bat-making experience.

Who Is the GM Diamond Original For?

The Diamond Original is an excellent choice for the all-round batter who doesn't want their bat profile to dictate how they play.

The balanced mid swell provides a versatile hitting zone for players who score around the entire ground, while the traditional full profile puts plenty of willow behind the ball.

It's equally suited to the batter looking to occupy the crease for a long innings and the aggressive stroke-maker looking to change the momentum of a match.

Inspired by one of modern cricket's most influential all-rounders, the GM Diamond Original BS55 2026 brings together premium English Willow, a versatile profile and unmistakable Ben Stokes styling.

Important Weight Information

Any bat weight displayed in this listing is measured WITHOUT an Extratec protective sheet and WITHOUT a toe guard fitted.

Please keep in mind that fitting an Extratec protective sheet and/or toe guard will slightly increase the final playing weight of the bat.

Return & Refund Policy

Wiz Sports – Returns & Refund Policy

At Wiz Sports, we are committed to providing high-quality cricket equipment and excellent customer service. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we are here to help. Please review the following Returns & Refund Policy carefully.


1. 10-Day Returns, Change of Mind & Incorrect or Faulty Products

At Wiz Sports, we want our customers to shop with confidence. Please carefully review the following terms regarding change-of-mind returns, store credits, exchanges, damaged or incorrectly supplied products, and products that are excluded from our standard change-of-mind return policy.

These terms apply in addition to any rights and remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

1.1 Change of Mind – No Cash Refunds

Wiz Sports does not provide refunds for change-of-mind purchases.

A change of mind includes circumstances where:

  • You no longer want or need the product.
  • You do not like the product after receiving it.
  • You have changed your preference regarding colour, model, design or other product characteristics.
  • You have ordered the incorrect size or selected the wrong product.
  • You have found the product cheaper elsewhere.
  • You expected something different, but the product supplied is consistent with the description, specifications and images provided on our website.
  • You simply decide that you would prefer not to keep the product.

However, as a customer service gesture, Wiz Sports may accept an eligible change-of-mind return within 10 days of delivery and issue store credit, subject to the conditions below.

1.2 10-Day Store Credit for Eligible Change-of-Mind Returns

If you change your mind about an eligible product, you must contact Wiz Sports within 10 days of receiving your order.

To qualify for store credit, the returned product must:

  • Be completely unused and unworn.
  • Be in its original condition.
  • Have no damage, marks, dirt, odours, alterations or signs of use.
  • Be returned with its original packaging.
  • Have all original tags, labels, manuals, accessories and components attached or included.
  • Be in a condition suitable for resale as a new product.
  • Not fall within one of the excluded product categories outlined below.

Wiz Sports reserves the right to inspect all returned products before approving store credit.

If the returned product does not meet these requirements, we may decline the change-of-mind return.

1.3 Store Credit Amount & Shipping Costs

For an approved change-of-mind return, Wiz Sports will issue store credit rather than a cash refund.

The store credit will be based on the eligible amount paid for the returned product.

Original shipping and delivery costs are not included in change-of-mind store credit.

Where Wiz Sports incurred an actual shipping cost to send the original order, including where discounted or promotional shipping was offered to the customer, the applicable actual shipping cost may be deducted from the store credit where permitted.

The customer is also responsible for the cost of returning a change-of-mind product to Wiz Sports.

We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service when returning products, as the customer remains responsible for the parcel until it is received by Wiz Sports.

1.4 Size, Colour or Product Exchanges

If you have ordered the wrong size, colour or model and would like to exchange it, please contact us within the applicable return period.

Where the original product is eligible for a change-of-mind return, we may arrange an exchange or provide store credit so you can select another product.

For change-of-mind exchanges, the customer is generally responsible for:

  • The cost of returning the original product; and
  • Any applicable shipping cost for sending the replacement product.

Any difference in price between the original and replacement products will also need to be paid before the replacement is dispatched.

1.5 Damaged, Faulty or Incorrectly Supplied Products

If you receive a product that is damaged, faulty, materially different from its description, or different from the product you ordered, please contact Wiz Sports as soon as possible.

We may ask you to provide photographs, videos or other reasonable information so we can assess the issue.

Where a return is reasonably required for assessment, Wiz Sports may provide a prepaid return shipping label for the product to be returned to us.

Once the product is received, it will be inspected and assessed.

Where appropriate, we may arrange a replacement, repair, refund or other remedy in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

If a replacement is the appropriate remedy and the product is available, we can arrange for the correct or replacement product to be sent after the original product has been returned and assessed.

Customers will not be required to pay return shipping costs where Wiz Sports has supplied an incorrect product or where Wiz Sports is responsible for an eligible faulty or damaged product return, subject to applicable consumer law.

1.6 Cricket Bats That Have Been Prepared or Customised

Change-of-mind returns, exchanges and store credits are not available for cricket bats that have been prepared, altered or customised at the customer's request.

This includes, but is not limited to, bats that have undergone:

  • Knocking-in
  • Oiling
  • Extratec or protective sheet application
  • Toe guard installation
  • Grip changes or additional grips
  • Weight reduction
  • Bat preparation or match-ready services
  • Custom modifications
  • Any other preparation or alteration requested by the customer

Once preparation or customisation has commenced, the cricket bat can no longer be treated as a standard unused product and therefore cannot ordinarily be returned simply because the customer has changed their mind.

This exclusion applies specifically to change-of-mind returns and does not remove any rights or remedies that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law if the product or service has a problem covered by the ACL.

1.7 Hygiene & Personal-Use Products

For hygiene and health reasons, certain products may not be accepted for a change-of-mind return or exchange once used, worn, opened or otherwise rendered unsuitable for resale.

This may include certain protective equipment, apparel, compression garments, personal-use accessories and other hygiene-sensitive products.

Where applicable, the product must remain unused, unworn, unopened where relevant, and in its original packaging to be considered for a change-of-mind return.

This hygiene exclusion does not limit any rights a customer may have under the Australian Consumer Law where a product is faulty, defective, incorrectly supplied or otherwise fails to meet a consumer guarantee.

1.8 Inspection of Returned Products

All returned products are subject to inspection by Wiz Sports.

Receiving a returned product does not automatically mean that a return, exchange or store credit has been approved.

We will inspect the product to confirm its condition and whether it meets the applicable return requirements.

For change-of-mind returns, Wiz Sports may decline the return where the product:

  • Has been used or worn.
  • Has been damaged after delivery.
  • Is dirty, marked or has an odour.
  • Is missing packaging, tags or accessories.
  • Has been altered or customised.
  • Is no longer suitable to be sold as new.
  • Falls within an excluded change-of-mind category.

1.9 Australian Consumer Law

Our change-of-mind policy is separate from your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Where goods have a major or minor failure, are unsafe, are not of acceptable quality, do not match their description or otherwise fail to comply with applicable consumer guarantees, the remedies available will be determined in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

In summary: Wiz Sports does not provide cash refunds simply because a customer changes their mind. Eligible unused products may be returned within 10 days for store credit, excluding applicable shipping costs. Faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied products are handled separately in accordance with this policy and the Australian Consumer Law.
