Title: CA 15000 Plus Players Edition Review
Post by: Cover_Drive on July 03, 2014, 07:38:35 AM
A quick review, pardon me for incoherence.

Couple of weeks ago I was in Lahore, Pakistan. I had chance to spend ample of time with Pakistani cricketers as I made frequent visits to National Cricket Academy as they had summer camp taking place. I always wanted a top tier Pakistani bat, so I thought this would be ideal time. I asked Nasir Jamshed if I can get a CA who said he will sort me as he was expecting two bats from CA for CPL. A day later he got them, he rang me and after an hour I headed to NCA. Bats were in his car boot, which he opened and said "you can take whichever you like." Upon scrutiny, I selected one which is pictured below.

2.8, 43mm edges and sheer mass. One of the best balanced bat I have ever seen and extremely good rebound, well he is CA flagship player so he certainly gets creme de le creme.

Enjoy!

Very very nice.

I have become a big fan of CA thanks to my 8000 going as well as it is.. Might have to get a top end one in the end of season sales...

Awesome bat and that is genuinely huge for a 2.8 bat. Have not had a CA yet but after hearing so many good things I am considering for next season.

If you buy an off-shelf one directly from CA it would be Rs.36,000 PKR whereas from a retailer it will be Rs.33,000 PKR.
