Is it a Spartan that Matt Prior has started to use? If so he ain't getting on that well with his.

Who makes Spartan bats? Is it SG, SS or a another bat maker?
I spoke to the sales manager for SS in Australia last week. SS are making Spartan and also the Australian market Puma's.

Matt Prior is one of my favorite players. He can do no wrong for me because when you need someone when your back is to the wall then Matt would be one of my 1st picks. I was asking as I have found that a lot of cricketers and golfers when changing their equipment tend to suffer with form for a while :(

So " in my opinion" they are nothing special. MC etc have probably done it for the money. No shock there then  :D

I haven't used one so couldn't really say if they are special or not. Having the bats come out of the SS factory though doesn't necessarily make them SS. I can't comment about the spartan bats as i don't know the arrangement within the factory re the manufacturing of them. But the SS guy did tell me that the Puma bats were made in a completely separate part of the factory. There is no overlap between the Puma and SS bats even though they both come from the same factory. So it is possible that the different brands are producing vastly different products even though they share the same factory.

Mass produced Indian bats and the only thing these bats have in common with Clarke and Priors bats are the stickers. Better off supporting a bat maker on here and lets not all be a tragic victim of marketing!!

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Went to my local sports shop looking for some new shoes for gym and saw there was a few discount bins at the front with cricket gear and had a look to find all kid gear. One of the girls told me the mens cricket stuff was on sale aswell and went over to see that spartan and kookaburra were 40% off cause they were last years models. Only grip i have with the bat is the stickers on the back are peeling i have heard the stickers ain't the best of quality but i can now see that for myself.

Picked up a Spartan Fighter bat Picked up fairly well and for only $120 Aud i think thats around 65 pounds i could be wrong tho. Gave it a oil and a knock in and took it down to the nets and my oh my the balls were flying off the bat very nice bat to play with. I must not of knocked it in fully had seam marks on the bat and From digging out a yorker a little crack nothing major. Here are some pics after the knocking in and oiling.
