Title: Grading of bats
Post by: cricket247365 on August 10, 2010, 12:58:25 PM

I read in another link that the MCC have changed the laws for bat grading to "TYPE A/B/C" and this has to be shown on the bat rather than GRADE A/B/C!

Is this true and if so why?

It is true, all bat manufacturers were emailed to let them know of the change. It's not to confuse willow grading with bat legality.

You will do, next seasons bats however must state Type A/B/C.

Tom, you mentioned bat legality. Is their a grading for this then? Id have thought it would be legal or illegal?

Yes, there's a grading for legality and to which level you can use that bat.
