It would appear so...

http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/laws-of-cricket/laws/appendix-e-the-bat,1028,AR.html

Appendix E - The bat
Toe and side inserts � The wood used must not be more than 0.3 in/0.89 cm in thickness.
The toe insert shall not extend from the toe more than 2.5 in/6.35 cm up the blade at any point.
Neither side insert may extend from the edge more than 1 in/2.54cm across the blade at any point.

I dont think that many people would know about, as I have lived in Australia for my whole life and this is the first time I have ever seen or heard about it. Also, it is legal in all forms up to, but not including first class cricket. So as long as you dont play first class, it's all good.

yer i have lived in aus all my life to, and i have never heard of this before.

in the videos it looks like some of the first class players use it.

He can't use it in games as he plays first calss, but he would probably use it in training. They probably got him to plug it as he is the captain if Tasmania so people would know him and be more willing to have it done to their bats, opposed to a club cricketer who no one knows plugging it

Tasmania... then the guy that owns this thing is probably his second cousin!

Looks to me like it is effectively adding springs to the edges under tension to try and provide extra "ping" when you hit something near the edge. Can't imagine that it would make any difference nearer the areas where there is more wood, so less flex...

ahaha, love it : P

i would'nt mind trying this actually... it looks kind of intresting...

langer17 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:36:32 AM »

I am thinking the same. I would probably try it on an older bat and see how it goes, then maybe have it done to a newer one if it all goes well.
