Depends whether the manufacturer grades on looks or performance. Surely you would have had some idea when you bought it.

And again yeh, we seem to be lacking a please or thankyou.

This forum is probably the best resource for gear related information anywhere on the net, take some time to read through old posts to gain information. Manners go a long way, too.

They are local Pakistani bats made for MD Sports (Maindad Sports, founded by Javed Maindad's brother).

It is grade two, MD grade bats based on look.
