Great quote on why we should support equipment innovation. Cricket shoots itself in the foot too often.

Thanks, haven't read the article (yet) but golf took to regulating clubs and balls quite seriously in the early 2000s , things like CoR, groove shape/angles/depth, club head size, ball reaction, to prevent the courses that make up so much of the history of the game from becoming pitch and putts for the pros, maybe the icc should spend some time with the R&A and USPGA to see what they can do for the balance of the game.

The game can be balanced out (and is quite often in club cricket) by providing pitches with a bit more in it for the bowlers! Some of the most exciting Test matches i have watched have been where the green top has assisted a bowler. That or, in Test cricket, allow for a new ball at 60 overs instead of 80. If the ball is reversing, the fielding captain doesnt have to take the new pill....

Having now managed to read the article I don't have much faith in the writers claims as he was stating concaving is used for aerodynamic reasons

By accident, rather than by design, in club cricket, I think.

No as stated but find it interesting players weight and some marketing speak thrown in.

He joins the long list of makers for the stars

jamferg · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2016, 01:10:23 PM »

so assuming he was making bats from 2001-13 for ST then ST must have been 'playing away' behind his back with other makers! As he is known to have bats made by BAS is the articles writer former head bat maker at BAS?

This writer is not bat maker for BAS but has his own brand. He has supplied many international player bats in the past but not much in recent times. I saw Mashrafe Mortaza in the ODI series use his bat which is Matrixx.
Any one on here from India who can tell us more about this bat maker or who have used Matrixx bats.

Also Indian batsmen get bats from nearly every bat maker to see how good they are and just put their sponsor stickers on them if they like them. Kohli has had bats made by BDM, SG, RNS, BAS and SS.

Come on let's be honest they get from everywhere Kohli has used in the past GM and also ca.

Haha Matrixx!!!! He had a reputation for sidling up to players in the nets and handing them one of his bats to ask their opinion of it - then one of his mates who was hid in the bushes took a picture of said player in his training gear holding the bat. Lo and behold, it would appear on his website with the caption Tendulkar / Dhoni / Kholi / whoever......which bat do they use aha?

His website was always interesting to look at.

WalkingWicket37 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2016, 08:05:00 AM »

Matrixx are back with some link to Impala now I beleive

As for the bats themselves, I loved my �30 so much I sold it on after 3 nets! The horrendous stickers were a bit of fund, but it was no Pingbat in terms of response....
