Title: solitaire cricket bats
Post by: stubbzy on February 07, 2010, 10:31:55 AM
iv been looking around the forum and there has been a lot of talk about solitaire cricket bats, so i thought it would only be fair to try one myself. at 100 quid you cant really go wrong anyway.

if people that have delt with solitaire could maybe post some pictures, let me know what the service is like etc etc id be very greatful

I've dealt with Solitaire and found them to be spot on and the bats i got was exactly as i requested, weight shape grains etc etc all excellent and at £110 its a bargain and don't think its possible to spend that sort of money on anything better.
