 If you had to use one bat, by another (mainstream) batmaker, what would you go for?

I am not brand driven in anything. Having played a lot of cricket and made them for 25 yrs I would advise you look beyond the stickers and endorsements.There is so much hype about bats, in the end it is about how it feels and how the ball comes off ( test it in the shop or walk out ).

What are the Bradbury's thoughts on good bats and the use of bowling machines?

We all try and bat like Brian Lara against a bowling machine, and like ourselves in a match. Unless you are happy to wear your favourite bat out quiclky ( especially in winter when the balls turn to marble !), Personally I would save my gooden for matchday.
