I think that they serve a purpose - good for work or pub team kit bags. Good value for what they are.

Complete luck of the draw, some are complete planks but occasionally they are okay.

Yep, Kookaburra own them.  They still do a full range of bats, and at fairly low prices, but for me, their speciality lies in other areas - hence we don't stock them! Not many other cricket shops do either...
