Ok,
But i dont think i am putting across my arguement very well.
A bad batsmen can get the most out of his limited ability by buying a good bat, suited to his style.
this bat will probably not be too heavy, nor would it have a concentrated high middle as used historically by good batmens.
The use of heavy bats is more prevalent now than it has been and my arguement is that despite light pick up, which really does negate some of the effect,the use of heavy bats will have an effect on playing certain shots, that is just bio physics lads. The body will have less touch and control when undertaking skilled movement when there is a requirement of increase force and energy.
Cricket can be a simply game of see ball hit ball, but you can also increase your chances of doing better by using the right equipment. my gut feeling is there is a lot of ego in those edges and a lot of defensive justification.
I have to say i dont follow some of the previous points.
