I always get together a miss match of equipment. The bat is indeed essential but the bases can be changed for jumpers/cricket stumps/shoes (anything available!) and the soft leather cased ball is often substituted for a less painful and easier to hit tennis ball. This seems to add to the informal, play it wherever you are game of rounders which I have grown up to love. It has an easy going, summer time sense surrounding it. The classic english summer maybe?
I want to hold onto this informality and comfort created by what is usually seen as a competitive sport.
