It's more the lack of transparency from the manufacturer.
That's only ever been the issue, regardless of personal opinions on the brand/cost etc
Quote from the front page of the M&H website;
"We hand make every single cricket bat at the workshops in the Somerset County Ground, Taunton. Using traditional methods, our craftsmen ensure that we get the best possible performance out of each cleft of willow."If this isn't the case, then it's not only totally immoral and misleading but also breaks the Sale of Goods act. I doubt we'll ever get the full details but I do commend
@ItsJustCricket for sticking to their philosophy on this. They've personally said that M&H are one of their best sellers (and I'm not surprised with them being in the middle of London, price isn't an issue round these parts for most!) so to take them off their shelves altogether is a big move and commendable.
Guess we'll have to wait and see, maybe the M&H website wording might have a few subtle changes in the coming weeks......
