Jeez, I love those Slazenger bats. Just bought a classic, 25yr old V100 five star to add to the collection.

Yes. They had 'Designed in England' where 'Made in England' was last year. They were quite obviously Indian bats, in any case.

Subtle change in wording makes all the difference.

I have noticed some brands stating - English willow nurtured in India - which I guess is not much better than Kashmir Willow?

we have recently hand picked our slazenger bats and i am 100% sure that all their retro bats are made in UK. I am not sure about what they have in Sports Direct. Here are photos of 2 of the bats from our stock just to prove that sticker says Made in UK

I believe you! Yours don't have the five stars, either. I was just warning people off the SD 'bargain', really.

Quite obviously they do!

They did have UK ones last year. I have seen both the (allegedly) TK and (allegedly) Duncan Fearnley made ones in the flesh.
