Hello to all the lovely people out there. This is Madhav from Kerala, India. I play 1st division club cricket here. Basically a opening batsman & offspinner. Now coming to the point, has anyone in this group ever heard/used bats made by Phoenix Cricket? The reason I got into this forum is a friend of mine told me about the experience people got here & sensible discussion/suggestions/advice. A team mate of mine got a Phoenix fireblade & problade from these guys. I used them both in the nets & a couple of matches & I was blown away by the performance, pickup & balance. So I'am tempted to buy a problade match bat & a blade for practice matches & nets. I even had a look at their facebook page, "Phoenix Cricket Bats" .....these guys have a very good overseas customer reviews & some good posts as well.....I have used almost all the Indian brands & found nothing like these. So what do you guys say?

So what do you guys say?

I say you are a shameless plant, appearing on here to promote the brand seemingly as an innocent member of the public - but that you really have some kind of connection to - in order to avoid the thorny issue of having to pay any sponsorship on this forum.

But I could be wrong of course.

Wow, a nice start. Welcome to CBF @madpra6

C'mon Avi - feel the irony!! Just a little cheeky barb to test his mettle.

I laughed so loud when I read this.

@FattusCattus - 1st of all, mind your language. If you can call me a "shameless plant" then I say you are a "Narrow minded slug" for your stupid conclusion that iam here to sell/buy something. I'am good enough to understand policies & procedures of forums. Moreover I'am no where associated with these guys in anyways. Most of all  I stay 600kms away in a different state all together. Even after this if someone has a problem then it must be the forum admin who should pitch in. Said this, if you are the forum admin then iam sorry

I can't tell now if he's out irony'd me or if that's a straight answer    Oh the irony!!

I think slugs by their very definition are narrow minded - I mean all they're ever on about is plant this, plant that, who's got the best slime etc.

I know - we'll call in the admins and they'll sort this outrageous farrago out!!!!

I have communicated with them via FB, a) they responded b) understood my requirements c) bats have nice grains d) they have a knocking machine  e) seem to get good reviews from people who supposedly have used the bats

The only con is they put scuff tape on too many places on the bat other than the edge..this I do not like.

Overall recommend based on photos    And lets keep the plants vs. zombies going..it is entertaining.

Low-density slime is the future.

Please don't tell me Nick Knight is commentating on this. This couldn't possibly get any blander could it?

Up the Albion!

Got a go ahead from a couple members of this forum who have been using their bats  . Will decide on something & update if I get my hands on any of their bats. Thank you for your valuable inputs.

Finally after a lot of thinking called up these guys & spoke to Ravi there. A true gentleman with loads of experience. Spoke to him for almost 90mins.... asked him all sorts of questions. He has all the patience to answer any question, silly or irrelevant..whatever. He asked me a few questions like order i bat in, batting style, front/back foot, favorite shot etc etc & finally we rounded off on their FireBlade which is a G1 & shared a pics of a few bats he picked as per my need & I rounded off a beauty. Should be reaching me in a weeks time fully knocked & ready to play  . Will update further details once I get it.....

I look forward to seeing it, Madhav!
