Title: Best 2.8 bat for less than £90 posted
Post by: Alvaro on May 14, 2014, 09:01:33 PM: As per topic title, what is the best option for the scrawny cricket bat connoisseur with little space in their overdraft for silly priced willow?

Pakistani, Indian or English brands?

Post by: tejasapatel on May 14, 2014, 10:21:51 PM: How about giving Spartan MC 4000 a look, it falls right in your range and a few of the forum sponsors have some in stock (hand picked).

Any idea of what sponsors? I'm quite interested.

Recently got the Chris Gayle Spartan bat, very much impressed by it.

Here is a video that Paul from IJC did of top 5 bats in his shop (April 2014) and mentions the MC for 99.99.

I have MC 4000 bats at 2'9, 2'10 and 2'11. £120 with free delivery.

I also have the MS Dhoni Fighter at 2'10 for £99 with free delivery.

Post by: Slyboogy on May 15, 2014, 04:53:54 PM: What grade is the MS Dhoni Fighter bat?

I'm afraid the MC 4000 is a little out of my price range

Post by: Vitas Cricket on May 15, 2014, 05:12:56 PM: 'Grade 5'

I'm not sure who does the grading though.
