Don't have the money, time or skills to do so D: Do laminates actually need to be knocked in?

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!


Thanks for that. I was wondering as my son plays junior cricket. However I best not invest in one as knowing my luck he will get caught out and get banned. Some of these Junior parents are very competitive when it comes to their kids... Lol

Thanks again.

Out of the two I've made for simmy id say no they don't, however I'd say you need to spend the usual time on the edges and toe.

HOwever Laminates come with a heealth warning. You'd probably score more runs by spending £200 on coaching than buying a laminate.

3/4s of them probably won't even know what a laminate is mate, it's only when you get to county/county 2nds maybe premier at most that people would start getting funny about it tbh

Cheapest? Ebay, without a doubt. I've had a couple of lovely old hunts bats off there. You just have to be careful.

Personally on a value for money scale, I like to pay Tony a visit at hunts county.
