I reckon Puma. Haven't really got any massive names on board except Brendon McCullum and Yuvraj

They have a lot of Aussie domestic (not massive yet) players using Puma kit in the BBL (North, Finch, Maxwell...), and a fair few Indians in IPL last year (Tiwary, some Deccan players).

if he really is going to be a free agent, I think ss or sg might try to sign him up as he will be playing a load of ipl cricket

I think KP with a Mongoose would be a sight to behold and worth the price of admission alone.  Can't see it happening unfortunately though...

What about Broad then? Won't he still be using his Libro in 2012?

here's a thought - who has actually seen an Adidas bat being used in a club game?  a few of our U11s have the Kashmir versions, but seniors?

Nope, never. Same with Puma, I think seasoned club cricketers regard them as a football make and refuse to go near the cricket stuff.

Our former first team skipper uses an Adidas Libro and a guy of around the age of 20 uses a Puma in our first team. An opposition player also hammered us all round the park with a Puma that I can't quite remember the model of, was too busy holding my head in my hands until he finally feathered a catch to me.

I know what you mean though, I think these brands will need to be around for at least another 5-10 years before most adult players will take them seriously as a bat brand. Our local paper handing out Pumas as weekly prizes might help though...

I think most club cricketers see past the gimmicky image that Adidas bats have and the fact that for the price they go for you can buy better looking 'Proper Cricket' brands for half the price. The eBay fakes mustve contributed as well.

Most of our team use Gray Nics or GM, especially GM with them being made in Notts and that

Do I sense a "what bat brands are used by your team thread"??
Off the top of my head we have 2xM&H, 1x Adidas, 2x Puma, 1xblank, 1xGM, 2xNewbery, 1xGN, 1x Kook. That's best on our most regular 1st team that isn't very regular!
