Pakistani imports, at a guess.

Nastneil certainly lives up to his name! What a knob lol.
The "Grade B" with the heartwood on the outside edge doesn't look too shabby  8)

I can tell that seeing the floor, carpet, walls and that ruler :)

I'd be tempted to not buy purely on the basis of the seller being a prize ****.

Without knowing origin, we can't say if they'd be any good. They look alright, but that means nowt.

From what I read, nastyneil fired the first shot.

Reading one of the posts, he says you foul mouthed him on here. I dont know where he is looking because I fail to see any foul mouthing going on. Probably one of those people who look for fight's.

This part makes me laugh: "So I got the terming wrong....how is pointing that out going to help anyone make a decision??"

Not much good it can do on here, unless he reads it, but it makes a big bloody difference when it comes to saying you can get a Grade A bat for 70 pounds, when a kashmir bat can be grade A.

Sounds like a total tool to me.

Further quotes which sound deceptive and show his lack of knowledge about cricket bats:

"but the prices are so good they may be worth a punt!"

"I have english willow bats that have grains in them....UNLIKE Kashmir willow bats...."

"Why make the comment then?? How many people actually know...or for that matter CARE how the bats are described??"

"just how many people CARE how they are categorised"

Is he serious?

A different user:
"I think Neil's response(s) are quite justified to be honest, as nobody actually cares about the definition of Grade A and B bats."

Well I care, lol.

I'm not having a go or anything but how can someone sell bats and believe that it doesnt matter how the bat is described or categorized?

You're not having a go  :D  Strike a deal with the guy and see how the bat performs. It could well be a gem of a bat.
