Reviews / Re: Surridge Curve cricket bat
« Last post by Dansan1 on June 23, 2025, 07:29:34 PM »Old thread but after reading this I was browsing the ss website and noticed that they currently have a curve grade 2 bat reduced to 151 pounds which seems amazing value. It is very hard to buy bats unseen online of course. I might just grab one for that price and see how they are...

Bats / Re: List of bat models banned due to size?
« Last post by swark on June 22, 2025, 11:23:54 PM »Thanks mate - I thought that his Gray Nics (in particular the E41) were likely to be suspect. I'll find a bat gauge and see about the others.

Bats / List of bat models banned due to size?
« Last post by swark on June 21, 2025, 07:14:03 AM »Slightly odd question, but I was wondering whether there was a list anywhere of bat models that were effectively banned due to the ICC introducing the size restrictions (i.e. maximum length of 38 inches (965 mm), maximum width of 4.25 inches (108 mm), maximum depth of 2.64 inches (67 mm), and maximum edges of 1.56 inches (40 mm)).
A team-mate has a number of bats from around 2010-2015 and was wondering which ones were still legal versus illegal. I know that we can measure them (or find someone with a bat gauge), but it did make me wonder if there was a list that actually noted the models that were no longer compliant.

Gray Nicolls / Re: Changing bats forever
« Last post by thegowerwaft on June 19, 2025, 07:35:41 PM »This is the problem when Instagram/social media or the likes of CBF declare something to be the new must have. Causes issues for retailers and people wasting their time.
I've probably lost days of my life dealing with people looking for 45mm splice measurement and 20mm shoulders, as then they won't get shoulder damage. Or some other similar very questionable request 😆
Tell me more about this bat you have... and you have managed to keep it to 2.8... 🤣
