I Need A New Cricket Bat But Dont Know Which One To Buy, Any Ideas??

Question

I play for a u15's cricket team and am in need of a new bat i recently bought new keeping kit so i have about up to £100 to spend

i come in around middle/lower order and im a wicket keeper so am not the best with bats i would say i am fairly aggresive but can be defensive @ times

any ideas??

cheers

Answer 1

Slazenger v389 has an amazing middle well worth the money if you can find one

Answer 2

kookaburra bubbles are awesome- amazing middle- you can touch the ball for four. First time i used mines i got fifty.

Answer 3

kookaburra kahuna it has a huge hitting zone so it can accommodate different styles of batting but especially big hitter, its relatively light, the 'spine' or 'ridge' goes from shoulder to toe and is a great all round bat. plus its really thick with an amazing middle.

Answer 4

i would suggest that you pick up either a kookaburra kahuna or a woodworm hard drive.

both bats have a large "middle" to them which means that even slightly mistimed or misplaced shots come off the bat quickly, they are both light in weight and have an excellent spine to them. the woodworm has the "edgeless" top where the bat curves in to thin the top of the bat to help prevent edges.

both are used by top pros - hard drive by pietersen and flintoff

kahuna by ponting and hussey

Answer 5

Gray Nicholls has very good quality bats and they last a long time and your roll as a lower order wicket keeper is perfect in case your team needs you to whack a few. Trust me Gray Nicholls is very strong bat and not actually too heavy!

Answer 6

Try SG cobra(Indian company).

Answer 7

Get a Slazerger.

I've got pretty much the same style as you but im a pace bowler, not a keeper.

Slazengers are light ( you can get heavy ones if thats your thing) but still hit very hard, i've hit a few sixes with mine

Answer 8

Gray niccols fusion, weighted beautifully and has a good middle, not the priciest either. The traditionalists are the best

don't be drawn in to advertising by woodworm, they are quite frankly c**p

also Kookaburras are good anything not to flamboyant but reeli gray nicolls all the way

(do not get a carbon handle bat as they are now outlawed)

Answer 9

I think you must buy MRF !!
