To all the bat makers out there is there anything Newbery or TK could do to this bat to justify the price tag over say a SPS?? Do they do that much fine sanding, pressing etc to justify a £1000 price tag or is it really just for the really rich to say ''look at me i have a Cenkos worth £1000''?

It may look nice but i dont think it is the best looking bat in the world espically for a £1000

Don't forget Newbery was acquired by a equity fund and they need to make some money back and quickly - who says it has to be the best bat to demand a £1000 price tag.

Your can market a donkey for a horse if your use the right words.

TK makes some of the best bats, but £1000 is ridiculous - I don't see any value for money.

Simple principal to generate want by making something very LE - like GM player edition bats or Legends etc. publicise made in very limited numbers and people want to have it.

Same as iPhone v HCT or Samsung. Is iPhone better than others - no, but the aura and want has been successfully created by clever marketing

The Cenkos exists for 2 reasons:

1) There exists x% of people, that love cricket (bats), have access to that sort of disposable income, and appreciate the value of things that cost a great deal (city traders etc)

2) It gets Newbury some very easy simple PR - a flick-of-the switch decision that generates a lot of easy (out of nowhere) conversations/column inches about the brand.

The bats are probably just SPS's with the best grains.

Bit like us putting some fancy leather chin strap on a RAW helmet and sticking it into a fancy case and slapping £1k on it like the equestrian helmets do....
