Oh right, I misunderstood when The_Bird said "Everyone should brand their bats" I didn't realise it was an actual brand! I thought that the players had just become lazy when removing stickers! But yeah it is very smart from SS to brand their bats, as it's a very intelligent form of (presumably) free marketing!

You would have thought that the only cost would be a few free bats. What I dont understand is why there sponsors let them do it.

Also why not use the sponsors bat if its supplied to you.....maybe SS throw in some cash with the none stickered bats, so the player can add his sponsor stickers.

Yeah that's what I mean, I think that's really innovative marketing, I don't know of any other company that brands their bats, and it's very shrewd business giving high profile players some free bats, even with other companies stickers on it's still HUGE exposure for them, and anyone who knows about cricket can tell that they're using SS bats

this is not true as it is the other Kohli player (can't remember his name)who is related to BAS family
