from the info i have they are still a trading company according to companies house however looking at the company information for how much longer I'm not sure but not long id say, many many previous companies have all been closed down under the director and he is involved with marketing companies however there details are poor.

I certainly wouldn't offer them a credit account that's for sure so in my opinion not long left for them unless an investor comes in, the director wont lose anything though with the way its set up but as i said they are still trading according to companies house.

Low Credit Rating is always an interesting one as it often doesn't indicate anything. I know of a couple of large international companies with very bad credit ratings in the UK due to the company structure.

Absolutely agree I work with at least 2 Multinationals (one of which being a VERY large Pharma company) that always come up as bad credit so this doesnt mean a lot. And as for the submitted accounts again think this one has been answered.

I hope this is a bit of twitter BS as I think it would be a shame to lose a company who are genuinly trying to bring innovation into our beloved Sport.

On a side note, it's quite an interesting thing to view the model they've followed. Tom is better placed than I am to comment, but it's certainly tricky to introduce such an innovative concept into such a conservative sport.

I wonder whether the average Joe cricketer playing on the average pitch finds it a bit too difficult to use an MMi3. I've certainly made my views known following my use of one.

i am saddened to hear this news. . . . . .no what matter . . .Mongoose tried to introduce innovations into the game.. . . not a bad thing.


let me ask.. . . .we are into june . . .the season in full swing. . . .how many geese have you seen on the field of play. . . .i cant remember seeing one. . ..

From a consumer viewpoint, most of my local cricket shops have sold out of the cor3 but I guess the mmi would be a tricky sell. On the whole they seem sought after and I'd imagine sales have been good. Whether sales are good enough to support the cost model is another matter.

Pure speculation but does anyone think one of the major players would snap up and incorporate the technology into their own bats?

Ive never seen a goose of anykind

one (in 6 games) - my team mate has one of the almost normal bat versions - bought from fordham sports.

Over Trading, not managing the working capital well imo.

I've seen relatively few. Mine was the only one at both sets of Winter nets I attended, which covered a total of 7 full teams.

Haven't seen any in 7 Saturday league games this season, nor have I seen any in 7 Sunday games.  Saw one on a Sunday last season.

Without a doubt, you will see a big player buying the copyright to the technology. Cant see it being Newbery, as they dont seem to be as big a player outside of the UK, although with the private backing they may see it as a good option to become so.

In my view the problem certainly wasn't sales in the UK, they are stocked everywhere and selling very well. And the MMi3 outsold the CoR3 massively last season.

has to be cashflow problems

I can understand why, the MMi3 for most people is "mongoose" its pretty much what people would recognise the brand for. Infact people would say hes using a mongoose, when a player used a shorter blade bat. From talking to people in my club they felt that the CoR3 was just an add on, but all the real work went into the MMi3!

Maybe paying too much to players
