The odd thing about Bradman's grip on the bat was that it seemed counter productive to his leg side heavy run scoring. Of the great batsmen or the game, he strikes me as the most inelegant. He seemed to make up for it though with exceptional hand speed

Not a frequent poster but recently read Bradman's book on the art of cricket. I was just curious to know whether many people have read the book and in particular the section on the art of batting, as well as what they thought of the book's technical advice.

Personally, I've implemented his top hand grip (which involves getting my wrist really behind the ball) late last season and I've found this to help my defence and straight batted shots quite a lot so just wanted to see how others found his advice.

N.b. If anyone wants the pdf it can be found with a quick Google search I believe.

Raising an old thread but has anyone had any contact with B&B of late?

Hey all

I have half spikes because I thought they were the best option but I have found that they constantly get stuck when Im running, whether its fielding or batting. I saw a video where Kohli was batting in a test match with no spike and it got me wondering whether I would be better off doing the same? or maybe I need to go to full spikes instead?

Please advise

Ive had a good hunt for you on that 40 budget. Theres so much choice and yet so little.
Plenty of basic gloves for under £35. But I dont know how much protection you require. Another thing that caught my eye more was flexibility. Hunts, kook, GM all offer a pretty good glove for 40. But by the time you pay £5 delivery you might as well get £50 gloves for free delivery. I think £50 gloves offer far more ticked boxes in terms of protection and flexibility with grip. Plenty of free delivery deals when spend £50. As its peak season everything seems a bit peak price now too. Black Friday is usually the bargain time. Perhaps you could get 2 sets to spread the load of gloves for years.
Let us know what you found with a little review….
