Morning all,
With the cost of high class willow rising all the time ( we all love good looking bats, don’t we.... )
I was wondering what is the best bat you’ve owned or used but with the fewest about of grains?
I was speaking to a bloke a work who played 20-25 years ago, loves the game but has no knowledge of current cricket equipment and he said he only used a bat with a maximum 6-8 grains.
Didn’t we see a pro bat appear once (Sean Ervine??) with 6 grains?
Seriously, many of us all are just too fussy and uselessly obsessed with grains and looks and all that jazz to open up our wallets for highly over priced small pieces of timber.
Last weekend we were defending 48 runs in the last 3 overs of a 20 overs game.
Guy comes in at no 8, and hits 7 sixes in two overs to turn the game on it's head.
After the loss, I looked at his bat.
It was a $30 Kookaburra grade 5 Kashmir willow or something. It was one of those cheapest and lowest class bats which are wrapped in some white sheet.
I guess sometimes what holds the truth is, if you know how to swing the bat supported by a great hand-eye coordination, the grains, looks and willow grade doesn't really matter.
