Hi all

I've had a few comments when going out to bat this season regarding the cleanliness of my bats.
Apparently it's "village" not to have any cherries.

I personally don't like cherries, so clean any off my scuff sheet as soon as possible  after each use as I like the clean look better than a load of marks over the edges and back of face of my bat.

Am I the only one who likes to remove all the cherries off my bat, or is it a kit badger thing? Would love to hear peoples opinions on this

It's never bothered me that much but I'll normally wipe down the scuff sheets as best as possible during my annual end of season kit bag clean up operation.

no it's total OCD to remove them, but if you are the wife/mistress/a one night stand comes in handly as nail varnish remover is brilliant

having said that I will be using the old cherry removal myself tonight as I was caught yesterday, missed the face of the bat totally and hit right on the edge

I like the cherries - it sometimes makes people think you score runs..!

[Sivlar13]

Nail varnish remover pads are a permanent in my kit bag, need to have a clean bat face always!

Whilst i dont score enough to get cherries, id definitely think about cleaning up my bat for a Williamson style grouping

[northernboy1987]

Yeah I might start just cleaning the edges haha

It's very badger. And that's why we all do it! I think it's village to have cherries to be honest...

You know you've got problems when you buy a bottle of white spirit specifically for wiping down your bats...

This is embarrassing. Turns out I've been using my bat the wrong way around all these years.

@Simmy  I can back that up from where I was sat.

[Butterfingerz]

Only kidding buddy you did well, smart stumping in the first game too, my colleague said from Square leg you hardly moved to take the bails off

[Simmy]

Cheers guys. Stumping was decent enjoyed thst. I have quick hands just lazy feet. Need to shift some weight. Hallams keeper is class best in league from what I have seen.
