What Cricket bat have you got?
 

Too all the cricket lovers out there i need to know which is a decent cricket bat to buy?

Havent played for a few years but got a match on Sunday against a old school we once played against. Also looking to play a few more matches after.

I once played with a bat symboled SS or something. It was amazing excellent pick up and a great middle. Ideally want a short handle senior size.

Any recommendations?

Stuart Surridge probably, but could be Sareen Sports.

I think Salix and Kookaburra are pretty good. :)

I have used MRF, AS & a few Gunn Moore's but this SS bat had a beautiful pickup & follow through.

My GM is fine.

Wouldn't spend £200 on something 'fashionable'.As you know..bats like golf clubs seem to have something 'new' every season at a rip off price!

Step back to 1976 and I really wanted a Duncan Fearnley cricket bat but they were priced way out of my league, used to borrow one :D

Ye some people still ise them. Been on ebay & loads of used ones available.

:thumb: it was when Gray Nicholls produced bats with a scoop/scoops and David Gower was around that I got ever excited about a bat!

@midlife attack with ian botham!

Grey Nicholls cricket bats were the favoured weapon of boys from boarding schools where money was plentiful LOL

:lol1:

I have a Grey Nicholls circa 1974, my then Great Aunt won it in a raffle having been signed by the then teams of

India, West Indies, Somerset, Hampshire, Essex and Goucestershire

I don't use it much tbh

Viv Richards sign it????!

Not helping OP much but think he knows his bats....:lol1:

As long as the bat feels right and you can cream it through the covers or out the park....stuff the name!:thumb:

yes - along with Garfield Sobers, Clive Lloyd,a young Botham (somerset) and Bishem Bedi off course

and my childhood cricketing hero the great Barry Richards (Hampshire)

boarding school....all fcuking batty boys if you ask me ;)

If you want the best bat then get to Millichamp and Hall, but you will be paying top dollar!!

do they even play cricket in obamaland?

:notworthy

Cricket glory days.

No girly extra pads, helmets and kevlar vests to go and bat

..............and we only had about 3 gentlemen's vegetable protectors for the whole team :(

I never used one LOL


Shaun

glory days indeed Loz -- but I went to bed and realised I had not put Gordon Greenidge down -- who incidentally has by far the neatest handwriting

Cuthbert Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards - what an opening pair..............
