I think that either the Puma Cobalt or the GM Epic would be good. Both bats have a long, extended middle and would be good for both shots. I would recommend the Puma, it picks up very well and is a really good bat.

Ok the pitches are generally quite quick and I face genuinely quick bowlers, weight wise I'm probably looking a lightish bat 2'7-2'8 but I like the bat to be BIG. My budget..........is premium........

Something with a long middle then I would say,  not too low middle as cant imagine lots of freebies so on offer so more driving on the up I would presume.  I like SAF & Andy's offset edge.

But maybe worth speaking to a batmaker lots on here i'm sure would help you get the bat right for you.

At that weight your options for a 'big' bat are going to be fairly limited. I'd look for something with a more traditional profile. Thinner edges, more meat in the middle. Big fat edges on a bat that light are wasted, all they do is widen the hitting zone not lengthen it and at that weight you'll end up with a less powerful bat. Seeing as how you especially like the cut shot you want a long middle not a wide one! Don't know what you are looking to spend but maybe a Redback Surefire or a Chase Volante (seen one recently that looked lovely) Or maybe something from the Salix range? Traditional profile though. Big edges mean nothing!!!!!!!!

I have a new chase lancer r11 that sounds like it would suit you quite well.

Mine weighs 2'7 and has 30mm edges so it isn't too small for the weight...

I think that costs £250 with their new ADS sheet as well at full price.

Speak to one of the forum sponsors, I'm sure they could provide you with a very nice bat for under what you would pay for a top end bat from the big names.

I hate to be picky, but CAs are Pakistani not Indian.
