At 99AUD, I might just have one...
Just to see the reaction out in the middle.

These coloured bats are just wrong! They look plastic and I imagine the finish will be ruined in not very long.

Couldn't agree more!
Cheap marketing ploy for the kids to use in backyard cricket.

clever marketing ploy perhaps to shift the fugly/low grade willow and recoup some finances?
It's prob the product designer in me but I really struggle when this is being called an "innovation" by some people. Painted bats were done in the now infamous Stanford T20 all those years ago.

I didn't see that one coming

They dont look good at all.

Didn't MSR have a load of coloured bats at one time?
-
Question is... who will be the first on the forum to show they have no shame? :)
I may DIY my mongoose to have a black back :D

During the Stanford series I remember spray painting some horrible Kashmir planks and flogging them on ebay. It's a good way to get rid of those.

Just been searching the web to see if I could get one of these (For giggles) and stumbled across this fairly recent news article. Seems to suggest Spartan have signed Alistair Cook? Surely not?
