Middling bats
« on: January 09, 2012, 11:23:50 PM »

Having used one of these last week and getting on very well with it, I was wondering if anyone has used one out in the middle in a match situation? I am planning on using one in a Sunday game next season, and propose we have a comp on here to see who can get the highest score using one of these next season?

What you reckon guys?

If anyone walked out to bat with a middling bat against a side I was playing in they'd get all sorts of abuse....It could come across as very arrogant!

I see your point, takes a confident batsman to do it tho albeit a stupid one lol

I think most of us have enough trouble scoring runs with a full size bat to show off like that...!

youd never hear the end of it from your teammates if you got a duck.

Our old sports teacher used to play against us in nets using a stump as a bat.

Knocking it in at the moment. Needs a surprisingly fair amount (judging by the mallet dimples on the face!) I imagine that when I hit the ball with it it is really going to fly.

If you middle one with a middling bat, it will fly!

I have thought of it myself to be honest...not for a laugh, but to seriously crack some boundaries with teh ultra fast bat speed and the thumping great middle.
