Bulldog Cricket
After a good start to the season I was looking for a spare/reserve bat for nets and any games that meant I didn’t have to use my Fusion Superbest. It was an expensive bat and I wanna make the most of it. So wet nets or wet friendlies it can stay nice and snug in a warm bag.
Kieron from Bulldog got in touch with me offer ing me a reduced price from the internet shop they have (just google bulldog cricket). With being in need of some pads and gloves as it has been a little while since I bought new ones I thought I would see if I could get it all from Bulldog. I was offered a great price on the lot and decided to go for it after reading all about the company.
I went for the Basher, asking for it to be 2,10 with heartwood on the outside edge and as many grains as possible. I was never sure about Heartwood on a cricket bat, but after reading many articles on this site I thought this would be a great time to give it ago. Despite Kieron knocking of money for the bat, he was very willing to try and follow my wishes. Well how happy was I when I got the package only a few days later?! The bat looked awesome with about third heartwood, and very close grains. It is a lush bat and not pressed to hard either. The mallet pings of the middle, so it seems like a fantastic bat. Just gotta knock it in and get it played with now. I will feedback more when it has had a few knocks.
The pads and gloves are lush. They fit very well and I had forgotten how soft new batting gloves felt! Both feel very well and reassuringly padded, yet are very light and I think they will be a pleasure to wear while having a knock.
I have had superb service from Kieron and Bulldog cricket. There good seem top notch and I can not wait to get out there and trying them in the heat of battle. I would strongly recommend that at least you do it visit the website and have a look for yourself
10 outta 10 for Bulldog
Cheers guys
