Not sure if many of you have seen this but apparently there is a new bat being developed by Technology students in India:
Basically, the front of the bat comprises of tapered edges which result in a better aerodynamic design but also.... and here's the interesting bit.... the tapered edges have been proven to "deaden" the trajectory of the ball when a batsman edges it behind. So, a standard delivery that would carry to clips under conventional circumstances now falls well short of the slip cordon.
The MCC have apparently approved the design, can the game become any more batsman friendly?
Maybe us bowlers should start using one of those half tennis ball-half cricket ball projectiles to entice a bit of swing!
Sounds ridiculous to me and I can only assume that this bat will result in plenty of injured slip fielders!

It's called Falcon and the design has been sent for patent,
MCC has approved the same.
But my question is what's so new about it??
How is different from bats of the past 70's,
Since nowadays bowler bowl at such a speed, will that
Bat sustain.......
Find next a photo of bat of 70's ....

If the ball does nt carry to the slips bring the slips closer to the batsman.

That means edges through and over slips won't run away for 4.
No thanks.
