All UK GN bats are made in India apart from some Pro's and Customs. Why just make some?

I don't think all of GN bats are made in India. Alex himself said they are made in UK, India, Australia and few other countries. So in this case I would say Alex knows more than you.

Also I can prove and guarantee if you want that this bat is not made in India.

GN Australia make a lot of their own bats.

If you made 10 bats in the UK and 50,000 in India you could still use the line, "Our bats are made in the UK and India". Finance takes hold of these issues, not romance of the UK being better, a skilled worker in India is earning far far less than his English counterpart, maybe 1% of the UK equivalent?

I totally understand that Mike and I agree on that fact.

But what I'm trying to justify here is that this bat was Made in UK because it was made in a such time frame that getting a bat all the way from India would have been very difficult and he (cricketer13) was regularly updated by Ian (At GN) as well.

I think we have crossed lines, if his bat was a custom made then it could be UK made. My ones are just off the shelf bats.

Back to the topic title, what was custom made about the bat? A different shape?
