Title: Paul's Blog - What makes a good cricket bat?
Post by: ItsJustCricket on October 08, 2015, 05:57:18 PM: All,

As you may have noticed we have now started a mini series of expert blogs about the cricket industry, and the latest one from Paul features an answer to the questions about hand picking, grading, pick up, performance, grains, etc etc. It's designed to be provocative and stimulative, and far from definitive. The questions posed are ones which cannot be answered, and the opinions expressed are by no means set in stone. It is merely a reflection on our time in the industry, and an insight into why we personally select the bats that we do.

EDIT - The last link appeared not to work, so see how this one works? Hopefully it should be better! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-makes-good-cricket-bat-insight-grading-handpicking-paul-cole (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-makes-good-cricket-bat-insight-grading-handpicking-paul-cole)

Happy reading and discussing!

Chris

Post by: ItsJustCricket on October 12, 2015, 01:19:30 PM: Thanks for the feedback, guys. Glad it has been so well received! Any interest in more articles? Specifically, what should I write about? I am thinking of doing one on "cricket bat makers vs. cricket bat brands" next but I haven't given it that much thought yet and sure there must be some other topics that are worth covering. Thoughts?

Great idea, David - thanks! "The Duffle Bag Revolution", for example! ;)

"cricket bat makers vs. cricket bat brands"

I'm sure that'd make an interesting read to see from the retailers point of view - enjoying the LinkedIn posts so far.
