I do feel sorry for those that think more expensive is better as I am not one I wish to try a laver as his pressing is unique and I want to see what laver bats are all about having had talismans etc

You are entitled to your opinion Jon but laver are a premium global brand with a very good reputation over many years as if they did not have this there is no way they could charge what they do and still be in business yes a few mistakes have happened when they should not have but they have held there hands up and sorted everyone out as far as I know but I have have orders of brands off this very forum messed up but they were sorted out promptly and very well so all good to me

When has the cost of a cricket bat ever have a indication of it quality in terms of playing NEVER

Jon it funny you get the wrong end of the stick why most buy Laver.

Take the world cup of bats that was on here most people voted without ever using or seeing in some circumstances.

A bat is like the prices varied.

I not going to get drawn into it but your VOICE OF REASON or crusade against Laver is tiresome.

Well firstly they haven't sorted everyone out to their satisfaction.

Secondly as a potential customer I am interested in the experience as it is now, not what it was a decade ago. That they may well have been the best batmakers in the world in the past would offer little consolation to me if I was unhappy with the service today. Many businesses, cricket or not, have built great reputations only to let them slip. I really do hope this is a blip which was caused by a sudden increase in work load where there suddenly became so much to get done that standards slipped slightly.

I will paraphrase a friend of mine who is the CEO of an extremely successful mulitnational industrial. He once said that a good company will sort out any mistakes without issue, however a great company never puts itself in a situation where mistakes are made.

That's why I said as far as I know people have been satisfied I don't know everyone on here bud

Yes some companys let it slip but very very few companys will never make a mistake or two throughout there entire trading life but maybe some of the brands on here can elaborate

I tell you we might all as well go round having a go at brands we have not tried as you know i had some problems with one of my bats but i see first it was Instinct now Laver Jon what is your problem bud.

I think it highly unfair on Laver who pay for the privilege of being a sponsor to be attacked by a guy who has never used or owned one.

Infact i would say it is a slur against a sponsor

In defence of laver, When all these issues kicked off ( friday )Laver had no chance to respond or sort out any problems as 1 they are about 13hrs time difference in front of us and 2 they are closed at weekends. I'm sure this saga would not of dragged on if it started on a Monday.

I don't wanna join the petty arguments but John u once posted the signature clefts pictures they sent u were not as good as the one Ian w is selling and u would only buy 1 of that standard. His comes up for sale & u immediately rule yourself out!

Because I thought a price of over £500 was a little steep for a second hand bat, no matter how pretty. I really don't know what that has to do with this thread though.

Anyone else want to know anything about my financial portfolio?

Yes Jon - please count every grain on every bat you own and then multiply that number by £50.

That will tell me how minted you are

Correct.

Although any knots or imperfections you find, subtract £100 each from the total.
