That article might as well have 'sponsored and paid for by Adidas' written across the top. I can 100% guarantee you that those bats are not 165 quid Adidas XTs (whatever the stickers may say!).

But why would the dailymail lie?

Going by JS Wright's grading
http://www.cricketbatwillow.com/blades-grading
The lowest grade of willow is
Quote
A Grade 4 Blade

A Grade 4 Blade is normally over half colour or contains butterfly stain (see our page on Imperfections in Willow). It will still play as well as the other grades. Any number of grains are possible with often only 4 grains, the willow containing ‘butterfly’ stain is very strong, there could also be more “speck” and other faults.


Which begs the question, what even is grade 5 willow?
