OK so there are plenty of threads out there where we can all show off our shiny matchday willow, but personally, those blades never ever get near accompanying me to nets. I don't fancy losing one of them to a yorker bowled by our opening bowler using a sports direct special ball.
I thought we could all share the bats we take to nets, i have seen plenty of members mention their net bat, i'm intrigued to see exactly what everyone uses, and how it compares to their match bat?
Currently i am using this lump of dirt i got on ebay for £40. It had Malik stickers and side stamps, all of which have been removed, i chose it because of the shape mainly, it's a similar profile to my match bats (if anything, my match bats are more concaved than this) and weighs 2'9 which is the weight i tend to use. It performs OK, not world beating but good enough for nets. Most importantly, if it snaps in two at nets tomorrow i wont be too bothered.
