Just the one for me. I didn't have a great season so I've got a new one now.

Northern monkey · « **Reply #16 on:** January 24, 2014, 04:37:46 PM »

Used one heap of shi#e M&H , that fortunately snapped in half, then 'borrowed' my sons M&H bat, which although that didn't snap, I wish it had
A waste of �600, but anyway, ,I think I'm over it now!

Ended up with a very nice Jedi from James at Skelmanthorpe, stunning bit of willow for the money, which my son robbed off me,for his county duties.
So now, I treated us both to a couple of affinitys, which are better than I will ever need

This year, I want an Aldred, and if I can get the money before Asad sells em, one of his amazing pro bats

Did I mention how shi#e my M&H was??

i think i used 3 my main bat a mongoose cor 3 for all the club games except for 1 match when i used my old bat and realised how rubbish it was and threw it in with the firewood. i played lms this season and used my mongoose mmi 3.

i have finally replaced my cor3 which i had been looking to do all last season and bought a gray nics nemesis just applied a second grip to it today and hopefully i'll have a good season with it

My Ace bat was probably the best bat I've ever used, and it was only one of his grade two,s! Could lift a full toss onto tennis courts at Rolls Royce! Unreal middle on it

I think,to be honest, ,we were spoilt with his bats.

I've had about 6 or 7 bats off James, his apprentice at Ace, , last year, and they are very nice.

Did you ever come across any lamberts bats?

procricket · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2014, 04:56:53 PM »

Yes lamberts from Nelson

Got one here mate yes we all used ace including chappie

Bring this thred back to life after watching joe root today

He burst onto the England scene using a stock gm octane. Which morthed into a not stock octane.

This year gm declared he would use the six6 in tests and the octane In Odis and t20s. Of which he started to do.
But why two different bats at that level?

Well first 4 tests the six6 was used
First two Odis the octane was used.

Today's odi, a six6!
And it was a six 6, a stock one.

So did he pick up the wrong bat? Or Has he decided he feels better with the six6 shape(they are two very different bats)

If the latter what will gm say?

The Laver in league matches, feeling it waking up over the course of the year was great, and most hits and giggle games. Other than that an RK in the T20 stuff which was then sold to a teammate at the end of the year you borrowed it and instantly made his first ton ever. Couldn't deprive him of the memory!

Oh and the FiL bat was always in my midweek bag for slogging and lending out to Billy no Bat types.

He hasn't really been in long enough for anyone to really notice.
Ian bell never used the menace mitts in ODIs as was advertised. The world still turns

5. two in league games, two in pre-season and one at the end of the year.

One, the redback paradox that I've had for just over the last two seasons. Tended to take my bulldog basher along to games but I lent it out to team mates and never actually used it myself.

I mainly the bulldog in nets to preserve my Redback but this year I think I'll just use the Redback for everything - if it dies then it's a good excuse to buy a new bat. Of course then I'd have to choose a new one and I have no idea how I'd pick between a H4L or an aldred as they're the ones that have really caught my eye in the last 12 months.

Technically 3. I used one bat for half a season in the league but then changed as I felt my GM was going too well to ignore. Benefits of switching is sometimes one bat feels better mid season and you can make that change. My 3rd bat got a few run outs on a Sunday, simply to get it played in. Not looking short term on any of my bats, intend keeping them for a few years yet. All are between 2'8-10 and offer slight changes in profile but nothing too different. Handy to have options but I have a pecking order for league cricket and until my top bat falls to bits it will keep being used. Sunday friendly cricket I'm happy to switch it around when it suits me. I won't use my League bat for netting, I'll go to number 2 or 3.

Most I've ever used on one game is two bats. I only change bats near the end of the game when the proper shots stop and I'm going into hitting mode so go for the net bat that for some reason I find hitting easier with.. Game bat is better but for some reason I can't slog with it

2, my Maverick or my A61
Simply depends what mood I'm in....
