Hello Guys,

As some of you will be aware, we have taken on more staff recently, which means I now get much more time away from the shop, including more opportunities to meet suppliers and hand-pick bats.  As a result, it’s very likely that every single one of our 2014 bats will be hand-picked… Knowing how hungry you guys are to get the very best of the new ranges, and as soon as they become available, we have an exclusive CBF offer for 2014 cricket bats, which goes a little something like this:

1.   Please select a brand from the following list (not a particular bat, just a brand):

-   Gray-Nicolls
-   Kookaburra
-   Newbery
-   Hammer
-   Millichamp & Hall
-   Willostix
-   Hell4Leather

2.   Pay us a £50 deposit.
3.   We confirm the bat options and prices from the brand you’ve picked. NB. In most cases, this may have to wait until after the Lord’s Trade Show on September 19th.
4.   You send us further info on the bat you want: including the model, grade, weight, grain number (approximate), edge size etc. - you can be as specific as you like, within reason. (But please be realistic: sourcing a 2.7 bat with 20 grains and 50mm edges is tricky – even when you’re hand-picking!)  :)
5.   We arrange a date to hand-pick your bat from your chosen brand.  NB. In the unlikely event that your bat cannot be hand-picked and delivered to you before Christmas, we will fully refund your deposit.
6.   We hand-pick your bat (this will most likely be sometime in November).
7.   You pay us the balance.
8.   We knock in your bat and ship it out to you (before Christmas).

So, all you need to do to pre-order a bat is choose your brand and pay us a £50 deposit (via card/PayPal/bank transfer).  We will then send you an order confirmation email with a reference number to get the ball rolling.

Any pre-orders that are received on or before Friday September 6th will get free knocking-in.

There is no limit to the amount of bats or brands that you can select.  You could potentially pre-order one bat from each brand, provided that you pay a £50 deposit for each...

We ship all over the world, so there are no geographical restrictions here.  Anyone and everyone on the CBF can take advantage of this.  Remember, all orders from outside the EU are exempt from VAT, meaning a 16.67% discount on your bat...

Please send me your selections via PM/email.  I look forward to hearing from you!  :)

Paul,

No Salix this year?

We will still stock Salix next year, and are in fact planning to hand-pick some clefts at their place within the next few weeks / as soon as they become available, but Salix are a law unto themselves when it comes to turnaround times, so I doubt we will see those finished bats before Christmas.  That's the only reason they are not on the list...

No need to rush your decision too, Josh.  You've picked your brand and paid the deposit, and that's all we need for now.  It really is that simple!  :)

They are made in England, so I pick them from where they are made, Rob.  But I think you new that!  :)

End of October at the latest ideally, so plenty of time.  You get free knocking-in too, remember...  :)

Now that some of the new ranges have been launched/shown on here, I wanted to bump this thread...

Who wants some lovely willow under their tree this Christmas?  :)

I think a hand-picked Kookaburra Bubble would make a nice Christmas present!  :D
