It's interesting to read the contrasting views that have been expressed on this thread. For me there is nothing wrong with the image,  I just wouldn't want it on a cricket bat as I don't think it is keeping with my vision of the game; if others want to that's fine with me; it would probably raise a few laughs.

I suppose it's fun but wouldn't having it on a  bat be, to use a term I have seen here before, a bit village? You wouldn't expect to see it on serious cricket bat used by a serious player - or would you? I also think this might be "the Fox" having another one of his thought provoking ideas like his pads.

Depends on how long you are out there for @WalkingWicket37 ?

It takes some Neanderthals more than an over to come up with an adequate sledge!

I'd love to say I was offended, but the bloke at the other end kept shortening my stay last season!
Plenty of not outs stood at the non strikers end, but apparently you need to get some runs for them to improve your average... 

[Seniorplayer]

@Seniorplayer you keep saying you get enough of that from the opposition.
I'm a fatty, who bats No.11 with top end FKW gear that's rather bright, you'd think I was a sledgers wet dream yet I hardly get any comments.

What on earth do you do to get so much crap from the other teams you play against?

Also use  full top end GN kit and bat at 1 maybe it's because the opposition think I am a poser or because they know I can bat and bat then bat some more....

[ABello1]

it may be a great way of distracting the wicket keeper and slips

If they have to resort to sledging you're already 1 up!

I like that it's new and different and can see it appeals to a certain audience, personally I wouldn't want those stickers on my bats and wouldn't buy one with these stickers on. All this nonsense about offensive is just BS as has been said the laungage used at cricket matches with children about or not is far worse than anything that could be out on a bat in my opinion.
I wouldn't mind if my daughter saw those stickers personally at 10yrs old or at any age to be honest

There's plenty of people, male and female,  with pin up tattoos, should we ask them to cover them for fear of offending someone?

[token]

I don't remember 'bosom bats' causing such a stir; arguably, they were far more offensive...

[GoodLeave]

would she be more worried if I was looking at Hornby Trains weekly , hell she would

I've had a similar tattoo down my forearm for the past 5 years.
I have a wife (who hates tattoos), 2 girls, I work with the general public everyday and teach exercise classes to 30 odd women with a variety of ages every week.
Never has anyone said they are offended by the pin up on my arm.

That.

And, what I said earlier.

Stretton does these childish experiments and expects some market miracle. His products are pretty late to the market and overpriced too. George, why don't you focus on improving your time-to-market and pricing rather than these cheap stunts?

[InternalTraining]

It is a cheap stunt! There, I said it. If it sends a burning sensation down your you-know-what, good.

[northernboy1987]

I can't get my head round why it's bothering you so much @InternalTraining it's just a picture of a woman in her underwear, you could see more revealing images in a bloody Marks & Spencer advert!

I have had the pleasure to have early dealing with George and he has been nothing but a gentleman during those dealings. I also admire his passion for pursuing something different and innovative in a very competitive market.

I think that the very personal nature of the comments/insults are very uncalled for. Constructive criticism and feedback is fine and I think it was accepted by George early on in this thread, but I don't know if this thread is still constructive at this point.

This wont be to everyone's taste, but many things aren't.

This is just my two cents worth.

[horseman]

George,

Can you bring out a secondary more youthful, voluptuous offering too. "The mistress". For when the wife gives up.
Best regards
