Looking for 2 answers or are you asking what best value?

i guess it depends what your looking for? Best doesnt always mean cheapest unless you get lucky. do you have a budget in mind as what some class as cheap for a good bat isnt the same as others.

I should have re worded it really I ment more value for money and cheapest. For example can you get a custom made bat for £100 for example....

I got a custom made in that range from Red Ink and can easily say that John will make a rocket from a wood if you ask him so, such an artist he is with his wood work & ofcourse reasonable prices  :)

I got an MSR from an e-bay auction last year. It is probably a grade 2 as got 2 knot s one at the back and one on the front but near the splice.

Both knots were covered by stickers. I altered it a little to make it lighter for my son and put some stickers on. The bat has a great ping (after a good knocking in).

The total cost including scuff sheet, shoo Goo, new grip, stickers and postage was 51.39.

The bat goes better than majority in his team.

Will agree here, MSR bat's are massive pingers, but you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time knocking them in, very good option if you're on a tight budget.

Simmy,

Can you use laminates in junior cricket? I was under the impression they were being banned.

Thanks

They are banned in all cricket but nobody really cares unless you play a particularly high standard. Do you play county cricket? If not then nobody will be too bothered if you use one in junior cricket!
