It's a Malik and Mr Malik gave it to me when he came to see me last. About 6 weeks ago, also got what would have been Afridi's new style gloves if he had not left Malik.

What do you mean by crude mike? A poor joint?

Ping?

?? Dont you mean it takes off like a rocket launcher........makes my laminate look like a peashooter!! Lovely, lovely bat, plus the gloves (which may be one off's due to Mr.Afridi's company shift) are, in my opinion, the best designed gloves coming out for next year!

Sorry to bring up and old topic but there has been talk recently on the forum about laminate bats and seeing as it has been mentioned that it is a possibility that some pros use laminates which I find interesting. Has anyone got stories or know of any pros who use laminates?

The picture of Gambhir's bat looks suspicious on page one but I'd be surprised if it was, also I wouldn't mind someone expanding the claim of Ponting's bat being illegal.

I cannot say too much but an attempt to hide the face was made as it would have been clear on TV what had been done.

I missed all of that. Did this happen in 2009 Ashes? I thought Ponting's illegal bat advantage had ended with the banning of graphite...

A mate of mine who has a sports store once ordered a dozen shers and nearly all of them were laminated. The bats weighing 2lbs 12 or more, were massive and of the kind that would hit the ball as long as it could go. ping was absolutely crazy and definitely anyone who can swing that bat with good bat speed can absolutely bludgeon the opposition.

do they charge more for a laminated bat?

armie · « **Reply #27 on:** March 21, 2010, 06:14:15 PM »

Yes they do. Coz there are 2 pieces of willow involved. The difference varies with companies though, may be less with one or a lot with another.
