Would these be suitable for cricket?

Why would you want to pay anything close to that for a mallet Joe?

I wouldn't, but apparently a lot of people want Lignum Vitae mallets like batmakers have or something so I found these and was wondering if they would work  :)

Crazy prices, just use a normal mallet! Never had a problem preparing bats with the GN deluxe mallet... (Got of Bulldog for a tenner) If you knock in bats as a retailer, then maybe start off with a normal mallet, then proceed to finish off the bat with an LV one, but pointless spending that much on a mallet...

From my research, that's relatively cheap for a lignum mallet. Agree with chad that unless you are knocking in loads of bats (which I why I am sorely tempted by one) then I don't think you need one.

Just a note, the same seller is cheaper on eBay.

Cheap for a lignum mallet suited to knocking in a bat I mean, there are many out there for less but I am not sure they are quite right.

That's right, the wood in itself is quite expensive too.
