Title: Piri Piri Cricket bats
Post by: Sitonit on February 10, 2011, 08:05:31 AM: Not sure if this is been discussed here before but just wondering if anyone has a review to write about Piri Piri cricket bats

Post by: jonpinson on February 10, 2011, 09:38:28 AM: Just struck me as odd. Perfectly good and potentially innocent question asked, but why the advertising?

Surely though, given the discussion of brands like Ace, you'd expect a bat forum to know of piri piri? Especially with it's Wisden award?

Maybe we are just too sceptical, some of us.

Title: Re: Piri Piri Cricket bats
Post by: jonpinson on February 10, 2011, 10:06:26 AM: No one has pounced, no accusations have been made. A simple question has been asked, that's all.

Post by: 19reading87 on February 10, 2011, 10:06:59 AM: Changing the subject to the bats, id personally say they are not for me. The willow might be good but i think the stickers are horrific. Only my opinion tho...

Post by: Cover_Drive on February 10, 2011, 04:11:07 PM: Nahh Sitonit is in NY area in US, I kinda know him and I know he has nothing to do with Piri Piri, you can take my words for it :)

Post by: roco on February 10, 2011, 04:13:44 PM: Bit too loud for me the stickers and the wisden review sounded like they rated it because of the stickers first then the bat so not overly reliable

Post by: yvk3103 on February 10, 2011, 04:22:40 PM: IMO a better question to ask than "has anyone spoken to......."

Piri Piri bats that I saw at the trade show were very good - picked-up well and tapped-up well too.

I find the stickers a bit too un/non serious and possibly more appealing for younger cricketers

Post by: Kulli on February 10, 2011, 04:28:21 PM: Was just about to ask where these were made.

Post by: SkipperJ on February 10, 2011, 06:05:48 PM: IMO the stickers are nice and lively. Complete contrast to GM, GN etc. We could use a little variety in cricket bat stickers...
