MSR bats ?
« on: May 23, 2011, 08:32:04 PM »
Found this brand on ebay, claiming to be JS wright willow sent to Pakistan shaped and handles applied then shipped back to UK . Anyone got one or know anything about them? they seem very cheap, but look quite good, heres a link to typical bat http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BEST-ENGLISH-WILLOW-CRICKET-BAT-10-GRAIN-BAT-11-/160592029063?pt=UK_SportingGoods_CricketBats_SM&hash=item256407e587

Patchy quality, very hit and miss. Some have had them and been happy, others wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I bought a bat off him for 100 pound unbranded the wood was very nice and the bat played well after I got it re handled

Sold it to a mate he is happy with it and all in all for 125 pound it was a bargain

Many will knock most have not bought yes the handles are poor indeed but the one i had played well and was a good bat

I agree though by others that the quality is varible

Let me say I am nothing to do with the company supplying these products, and was after genuine appraisal of the gear buy people who may have purchased the product, and yes I have ordered a couple of items off them and have found them extremely helpful, ( only ordered on Friday so waiting for post) I now realise that cricket forum world is fairly small so it may appear like duplicate posting but I just wanted to maximise the response from people that may have purchased from them.

Why place your order, then go to the trouble of signing up to two forums to start 4 topics asking for details about what you just bought?

Mate you've been caught out and you know it, you may as well stop digging.

I have been a member of this forum for less than 1/2 hour, and you lot  are amazing I am nothing to do with product or supplier,

I asked a simple question and received what amounts to total abuse!!

As it happens you have a member on this site who I believe is respected by the majority who I happen to have bought goods off in the past who can vouch for the fact that I am in know way connected to anyone in the cricket industry ( Asad at Uzi sports)

what a shower you are, so let me ask again,

 has anyone actually used any of the gear and if so I would be grateful for an opinion on goods that you have seen or used thank you

You will get a fair bit of abuse for mentioning MSR gear on this forum, it's a subject that seems to come up once a week at least!

In essence no one is that impressed with the gear. Yes, it's a decent price but like so many things in this world you get what you pay for. I'm sure, with the number of bats MSR have for sale there are some decent bats in there somewhere, law of averages would suggest this anyway but as to whether you'd be lucky enough to get one is anyone's guess.

Mind you, if you do own MSR I imagine you get the pick of them  :D :D :D (Joke!!)
