THIS

Yeah THAT

Just curious...if you are a seller making youtube videos to advertise and sell your products, how would you go about demonstrating that the bat does perform really well (apart from the ping test of course)...what do you think would convince a buyer?

When they don't give you:

Thickness at toe
Pickup index
The Pro's name it definitely came from.

Slightly off-topic (my bad). Further to your query, can you actually judge how well a bat will perform without it being fully knocked/played in? And thus is it even relevant to mention this during a video review?

Whatever happened to that chap who was going to set up a scientific rig to measure Ping? I was really looking forward to that, now that I've just remembered that I was.

Oh. And whacking yourself on the pads with a mallet. I can't remember the last time I saw a 1kg mallet come out of the bowlers hand. I bet it was a googly though.

No  IMO he  needs to step up  for England away from the UK.

- Bats that are 'performance free' and don't have a bow.
- Late arrivers.
- Cry babies.

What shouldn't really do, but really grinds your gears?

Currently, for me, it is youtube reviewers demonstrating 'ping' by belting the ball off their ceiling, as if somehow those of us watching will think that the bats a cannon, rather than that they are just hitting the ball harder than most people do when just knocking a ball up on a bat.

Release your rage...

Unfortunately, bat ping/performance "measurements" (as they currently stand) are a complete crap shoot because no scientific factors are used to measure performance. There are three factors that ought to be part of every bat's dimensional spec. and bat makers ought to provide that information. Reciprocally, customers need to demand and understand factors that truly makes a bat perform for them rather than cosmetic factors.

What if he did it in reverse? And also the algorithm loaded into the reviewers brain for it weighs 4 lbs put picks up closer to 2lb 9 oz

Oh please, tell us what these are!

Debate - You're skipper of your side. You are playing a must win game but have had a last minute drop out. You have a choice of two players to call up as a short notice replacement

• A decent player who bats and bowls. Always performs well but turns up in grass stained whites.
  
• A bloke who has a career average of 4 and doesn't bowl, but turns up in pristine kit every week

Who do you pick for the must win game, and why?
