Or get Roger at Solitaire to knock you one up - when we got hem for our colts we managed to get G1s for £45...

Only problem with that is that they will be 2:11 regardless of what you orderr ;) lol

2,11 would give you massive edges in a kids size bat.

In my view you should buy an English Willow bat rather than Kashmir Willow. Kashmir Willow bats tend to be on the little heavier side compared to an English Willow bat. U can pick a junior English Willow bat betwen £30 to £40

Absolutely - make the kid feel like he is a proper player

I could not agree more, has to be english willow as none of us would use a kashmir bat. Asad if you kids bats are anything like the little CA you have up on the website I won't be looking anywhere else. :)

Something cheap, light and the right size - he'll grow out of it soon enough.
Honestly, who had a high spec bat as their first one?

Good find this, I would highly consider it.

I bought my nephew a bulldog bat at the start of last season. Great bat, lasted last season and still loads of life left in it. He isnt the biggest of kids but manages to hit 4's with ease with it. He isnt the best of cricketers but found he is more confident if he has a bat that feels good when hitting the ball rather than a plank that hurts when the ball is hit.
