Hi guys,
Continuing on with my last post in relation to misleading advertising , does any player actually use off the rack bats ?
I know this may come across trivial but it isn't.A cricket bat is a large investment, therefore it should be what the manufacturer claims it go be, that is as used by a player.Obviously not this exact bat in your hand , but it should come off the exact same rack as what the player chooses from, exact to the millimetre, exact same wood.
Lets be fair here , when bat makers say " as used" it should be exactly the same.
Within Australia , the trade practices act forbids misleading advertising.Clearly a players using willow ,even a different shape to that of a rack bat is Wrong.It makes no difference whether a business intended to mislead you or not. If the overall impression left by a business’s advertisement, promotion, quotation, statement or other representation creates a misleading impression in your mind—such as to the price, value or the quality of any goods and services—then the behaviour is likely to breach the law.
Personally I think this practice needs to stop- it is the consumer who is missing out big time. A product has to be what it says it is, can u imagine the outcry if someone came and said that the bat they use is nowhere near the bat thousands of mislead consumers have been buying.Fairness goes both ways .
