I am about to be one of the said grumpy people. Yes there are lots of people on here that know plenty about cricket bats, there are also plenty who DO NOT!

*NAME DROP AND HUMBLE BRAG ALERT*

In addition to this, having spent some considerable time working (feeding the bowling machine/ giving throw downs) with Shiv Chanderpaul, his bats are far from off the shelf!  They are SSH with LB's... the profile may look like a Gen X but good luck picking one up in any store!
If you are going to use an example/ make claims please get it right!

Kez, as much as that may be true, I will respectfully have to take the word of the person who makes his bats in this case!

Besides, we used it as an example RE the profile shape and people's sometimes egotistical desire for a custom bat! Stress, sometimes!

Don't worry mate, when it's all settled down I'm sure I'll find a way of upsetting someone.

As IJC bashing is the in thing at the moment, has anyone got a Newbery Platinum I can borrow and give an overly critical and borderline slanderous review on please?  ;)

I think it's buzz's fault for starting topics like this

If you want to cheer people up its simple

Get fattus drunk and let him loose on him computer, all the bad feelings will melt away

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I watched the ijc video too. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. We live in a democracy. Paul is very honest in his videos when reviewing the gear he sells. He gives a very objective and I find this very refreshing.  Paul has a point, just because you don't like it, theres no need for a character assassination!

That will just be about Hair, Balls and Sacks all in the same context. I say let's do it

My big issue (not just IJC but anyone who puts things on Internet)

Why put your opinion out there if you don't want or can't handle feedback?
I see loads put photos/videos/statements of everything from cricket to favourite sexual aid then don't like it when people don't agree with there verdict

Why do it is my thought?

May just be old and grumpy

Disagree with us sure - tbh I change my mind so much I end up disagreeing with myself. But there's a line, which some people forget.
