Id love to see them go back to basics where they offer *****  **** *** ** * for there bats, 5 star being the very best and going down from there. Possibly a bit old fashioned but it once worked well in my opinion.

Id like to see a leading maker speak to there top sponsored player and make an exact replica of there bat in terms of shape profile pick up weight etc etc even if its not a bat from there own range if that makes sense but at least offer something that resembles the pros bat.

sort of like the af puma bat, but possibly more detailed..

I do like that idea about the pro bats mate, however it would be hard for a company to pick a top sponsored player, GM would be tough with Smith, Trott, Watson etc... Gray Nics would also be hard with Strauss, Cook, Chanderpaul etc... Kookaburra would be Ponting though. Puma would probably be Kieswetter or North. Slazenger would be tough between Clarke and Colly.

Kallis for Slaz?

Think it would be pretty simple bud all they have to do is pick there top sponsored player and make an exact replica of the bat, GM could do say 3 as could as could some of the others. Would be nice to see exact replicas of the top players on the market available on general sale. Saying that I'm pretty sure they would want to charge the earth fr it.

Yeah good point mate, I had the idea of just the one player from each brand in my book. GM could certainly do it with their CNC machine.

GM could do Flare - Watson, Icon - Trott and Apex - Smith

[Riddy]

luna - bopara

[peplow]

Imagine the prices of the gm's if they did that though!

There's a huge hoo-hah on here about pro bats,realistically lots of pros just make do with the best of the shop bats. I often give our upcoming pros reject shop bats.

a bat is a bat and if your any good then you'll make runs with it!
