Title: Cockspur t20 wimbledon bats?
Post by: Beachcricket on September 23, 2010, 01:53:23 PM: I've noticed many of the Wimbledon CC players, on sky sports' coverage of the Cockspur T20 finals, are using a bat with dark green stickers and small diamond on the face. Do anyone know what brand this is?

Title: Re: Cockspur t20 wimbledon bats?
Post by: roco on September 23, 2010, 03:57:02 PM: You would have thought they would have trained with it to get used to it as a 100 is not that much even at amateur level

Post by: Beachcricket on September 23, 2010, 05:45:20 PM: The pitch is a bit too bowler friendly for T20 even though generally the batsmen have it their way.

I help Mark's coaching business out from time to time with the odd batting session - mainly helping with the mental aspect of batting (no I am not Ebony!!).

He has a relationship with Warsop who make his bats (which are overpriced!) - and don't appear to be advertised any more...

Shame theres no ayrteks on show! They could do with matching helmets, rather than one wearing a blue albion and one a maroon masuri!

Also, white pads with coloured kit :S
