Those who have been watching the County Championship, what bats have you observed in use. I know there's been a lot of interest in the Scoop as used by a number of County pros, but I've noticed a lot of GM and Kook bats in the various pictures I've seen.
What do you think are the trends this season?
-
Matt Coles and his Willostix was a good sight for Kent...
I guess the smaller brands may be struggling to offer retainers/sponsorships?
-
Kookaburra R range seems to be popular
Seen some redbacks and then Brooks with his Ayrtek so the smaller brand seem to be getting a decent foot hold on the county circuit

A few years ago there were a lot more small brands around though - Warsop haven't got Foster any longer, de Bruyn has left Newbery and brands like WillowWizard had people using their kit. Mongoose cutbacks mean they no longer have the coverage they did either.

Which bat is Foster and de Bruyn using now?

Foster and De Bruyn are with Gray Nics now.

Graynicolls got a lot of players over the winter, gatting left newbery aswell as zander for gn

Lots of GM's. Jimmy Adams was using the Halo or Epic I think!

Great knowledge! Who were WillowWizard sponsoring? Bradders is a mate of mine, didn't realise he had a few boys kitted out - great news.

You'll probably have to ask Mr Rudolph!

Some Warwickshire players use woodworm & woodstock

Mark Hardinges at Gloucs for definite - an Aussie to, maybe Ben Edmondson?
-
Hell 4 Leather seems to be popular amongst the Kent boys this year. Not bad having Azhar, Davies, Shreck and Nash in the ranks.

This is a photo of Chris Cooke, Glam's reserve keeper in a pre-season friendly...

Wouldn't get a game unless Wallace gets injured mind.
-
What brand is that Cooke is using? Believe he was Slazenger last year
-
Newbery actually let their players go to save money, brave move or possibly stupid?
-
Having said that they kept Goodwin.
-
Good move from newbery I reckon, cant imagine many people buy their bats due to a particular player using them.
In general I imagine the gains from sponsoring county pros is fairly limited. Would be better off spending the whole sponsorship budget on an England player.
