Those stickers are ghastly...

HAHA, thankfully it's not the stickers which hit the ball!

Well I was looking at these a while ago, glad I didn't buy one now! Haha

Sadly though it's the stickers that sell the bat. Looks like nice bats.

No, but for a lot of punters it's the stickers that sell the bat

Got any pictures of the profile shots too? :) I don't think they are the worst stickers out there, but I'm struggling to think off the top of my head what ones are worse! :-[

Thankfully I don't let stickers decide whether or not I like the bat. I like bats that give me good value for my shots, and that feel good when I pick them up. Honestly I can say that these bats are both of these and then some. I got lower middles as I like to drive and play more off the front foot. But my mate got higher middles as he hooks and pulls a lot of decent lengths. He swears by them as well. They are really great sticks for the price.

Roughly what is the cost to an English buyer including postage?
-
Not too sure mate. But the Dig In is the top of the range and cost $250AU. The Dominate was $190 and the League $150. I don't think postage would be much as they send a heap of stuff back and forth to the UK. I think they go over and select willow quite often. There'll be a few floating around Britain as some of my mates over there want me to bring them some for next summer as they saw and liked mine last season!

Look no further than the Indian market for horrendous stickers. This is just one companies offerings, there are plenty more...

where are the bats produced? presuming due to the plastic coating/wrap on one of them they are indian made? Id be very suprised if it was cost effective to fly over, pick your willow and ship it back to either india or Australia on a regular basis. amazing if they do but id presume its pretty unlikely unless they are visiting the UK for other things.
on the bat front they look nice, stickers arent great but some nice grains on them.
-
Not sure mate, but I do know they go over and select willow. The bats are mostly Indian made in Jalandhar. Then shipped out here and finished off, badged etc.
Here is a photo of the profiles, however they vary from bat to bat depending what you want. My bat has the weight in the bottom as I requested, but my mate's is all around the middle.

Look good and thick profile wise but the handles are a bit Kate Moss...

Is there not a UK company called wombat cricket?

Indeed there is http://wombatcricket.co.uk (http://wombatcricket.co.uk)
There's the badgers (or should I say Wombats) I was looking at! Not the ones from Aus lol
-
Just weighed the 3 bats. The Dominate is 2'8, The League is 2'9 and the Dig In is 2'6. The Dig In is the biggest 2'6 bat I have ever seen.

What does it say on the edge? English W*E Willow????
-
G'day mate, it says "English WBE Willow".
I have no idea what it means!
