It does not state that the named makers actually make the bats and the photo's show low grade wood. I would have to say that it certainly looks like a cheap job lot of bats and I would not want to waste money on them.

Coming back to this I have noticed them selling a number of "Amjad Khan" bats on Ebay for £59.99. Do they sponsor Khan?

Also the batmakers names at the top I don't think are the batmakers, this is based on my believe that at least one of them doesn't even exist!

Mehnga Ram????

The other two are real enough and make for other brands which makes them easy to quote as a new firms bat maker.

Meghna Ram I've heard of, but not Mehnga Ram. The Meghna I've heard of has been associated with making some of Sachins bats.

Ok, well maybe they all exist/have existed. But I was speaking the other day with some factory workers, and according to them this whole Mehnga Ram is a hype. The story goes that he died before Sachin was born and the use of his name now is just very clever marketing.

Yash, have you heard anything along these lines?

I thought you had used Ram BAS bats before Tom?

Yep about 3 years back I thought I was. Or at least that was what I was told by the shop owner.
