I had ss platinum as my net bat last season , very good stick ,
AND DO NOT BUY SS KIT OFF EBAY MOSTLY FAKE, MAKE SURE SELLER IS GENUINE FIRST BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER IT :(
-
no i have been burnt on ebay before on other products so i am very wary
-
ok mate , what was you stabbed for out of interest ?
-
PS3 consol bundle + games + blu rays that was clearly too good to be true
-
Im almost half a day late on this, but if you are looking for a SS Platinum Reserve on here, I definitely feel Asad from Uzisports on here is your man. His customer service is excellent I hear. Worth dropping him a PM (aqureshi) and asking him about them! Hope that is of some help.

Working on collision Johan?? Haha

haha , johan not being rude fella , , do you comment on all topics ? :(
-
Liam, I don't get that, but don't want to derail the topic.
Punter- I comment on quite a lot of things, but they are generally constructive: this one is pointing the fella in the right direction, so he doesn't have to do all that much digging to find a bat he is potentially after...

I think Johan is one of those google ad guys, working from home after school and gets paid per comment ;) The lad must be minted!!

yes mate , johan , how old are you anyway ?
you seem to be on here quite a bit
-
i had a plain SS grade 1 off Asad there is no doubt he is very good at sourcing Sareen Sports bats
Oh and iam on here quite a bit but back at work on Sunday
-
For the record Asad is great
the best SS platinum reserves I saw on here were supplied by yvk3103
-
im enquiring to yash at the moment about bats ,
he seems to have a fair collection of bats , supplier i take it
has some beauties aswell , he sent me pictures of a laver reserve that was a beauty but just couldn't afford the £238 price tag he was looking for ! >:(
-
I'm sure Yash works in pharmaceuticals (Spelt wrong probably) but he has a nice selection of willow. I fancy a platinum reserve or gladiator but £200+ for an Asian bat will never convince me.
-
I know it is a lot of money
I have spent a lot on a bat from asad and in the end I got a fantastic stick
well worth the money
the reserves look better than that one even
I went with an bas millenium from asad

A shame, because the likes of Yuvraj, Dhoni etc using Asian bats would make you feel that £200+ is worth it! SS bats along with Newberys are the best performing bats I've ever had. The SS I bought from Mr Sareen himself, and the Newbery retailed for £300+ and I would gladly spend £300 if I could get a duplicate of either bat.
-
Got to agree there i have used a couple of asian bats a shadow le by BAS and a plain gd 1 SS and there as good as anything
One the other hand doesn't Dhoni use SPYDER

Dhoni has used Spyder quite a bat, but then again he has a different brands bat basically everytime he goes in becuase the vast majority of Indian companies give there best bats to him

mate i just think its that are experiances with asian bats isnt fantastic

iv got a question ?
I see ss make the bats with Nike stickers on them , but who makes the bats with the Reebok stickers , are they from the ss factory aswell?
-
most Nike's are SG arent they?
-

ARE THEY ? anyone else know ,
I thought they were ss
-
Depends on the batsman using it. Some SG, some SS.
-
Indian cricketers are probably a bit fickle, I dare say Sachin excluded, but most of them would have used an SS bat at some stage in their career.
But absolutely, there is some rubbish on eBay, some is still genuine SS (but low end) usually for the Indian market, so you're not going to get quality stuff unless you trust your seller. From a reputable seller you should also get the after sales service should anything go wrong.
We've done reasonably well with the Indian SS Platicum reserves we are selling on eBay, sold 4 out of the 5, despite the thoughts of eBay and Asian bats.

It's likely that Reebok may be using several suppliers. When MRF were big, they used 4-5 different suppliers. We had a difficult time even though we ordered directly from MRF, because the same bat would come with different coloured grips, would be a slightly different shape ... and then with so many fakes going around, it was difficult to convince some people that they were genuine. SS were one of MRFs suppliers

Yeah my experiences with friends Indian bats haven't exactly been great. Toes smashing, poor pick up, too soft and don't last and they weren't exactly cheap bats. I suppose if I found one that I could pick up and feel I may be swayed but if stick with who I know when paying that much money out
-
I can't fault the SS i used last season. Superb middle.

I've also had SS bats that have split almost in half, but prior to that they have been guns. But I understand ... if you've had a good experience with any bat, you'll like it, no matter the brand ... and conversely if you've seen bats split and crack, etc, then you'll want to stay aay from it.
My biggest concern though when selling an expensive bat is that the buyer knows how to look after it. No disrespect to anyone here, but these days with everything being so convenient and most manufacturers labelling their bats as "pre-knocked in", if the user doesn't take trouble to knock it in themselves further before use, or to protect the bat inside a bat cover, or not to hurl it into the dressing room after being given out to a dubious lbw, then they're wasting their own money ... even if it's a £30 kashmir willow
-
Interesting story about rage after getting out. A guy who opens the bowling in our 1s got given out lbw when he inside edged it, and our changing room has a door separating it from the away changing room. He chucked his bat through that door, and managed to get it in a straight line! So it's parallel with the ground, still there today, I was quite impressed when I saw it lol...though I don't think the bat lasted much longer..
-
I broke a bat after getting my first golden duck, I regretted it.
-
Hi Johan .. I was once on the oposing team and this ex-Glamorgan opener, who had been given his bat by Ganguly, decided to hurl it at the clubhouse as he was trudgung back after being caught ... bat was a mess ... total disrespect for the game, the equipment, and the gift. Lost any respect I may have had for that person after that, no matter how good he may be!
-
Ask simmy about batting tantrums :D
I love knocking bats in and going through the whole playing in process. I know how to look after them aswell, but it's annoyed me playing at my current club as it has tiny changing rooms and every bat I've had in there has been stood on or damaged in some way :( I started leaving my gear outside last season like some of the other lads do. It has worked especially when someone stomps off the field throwing there gear everywhere and punching holes in the wall.
