@InternalTraining personally this for me is very important and is nothing more than a mindset thing. It’s why Iv never gone near Aus GN or kookaburra as they are often 103-105mm thing.
That's your choice and it is fine.
5 mm is 0.197 inches. Let's round it up to 0.2 inches. As a user, not a bat maker, I think it is nothing to worry about. It is 0.2 inches. 3mm is even less.
Also I don’t see why tradition is holding the game back?? The wicket is still 22yrds long, ball is round and still weighs 5.75 ounces and overs have been for a very long while 6 balls in length.
The rules of the game are fine. I love them. Heck, if I could, I'd watch Test cricket all day.
My gripe about tradition is with regards to gear, especially bats. How is it that in 2020, there is no standardization for bat specs? There was a discussion about GM's pickup rating and I find it bizarre that there is no universally accepted standard for pickup.
Bats are such a personal thing and to just come out and say basically that if a few mm are missing I need more friends I’m
Not sure what they are going to be able to do about my personal preference for a full width bat??
I meant it is not a big deal, didn't mean to say that am small army of new friends could help with missing mms.
But like you seem a big fan of CA bats that’s fine as you like to be able to get the exact same profile across all the ranges just with a different to range of stickers that cover 75% of the blade is your preference
Here is my why I am so vocal about this. I must have dozens of almost brand new bats that never saw a match. From specs perspective, they are proper width, "nice handles", and by some standards nice stickers too. Grade 1 or higher. They were too stubborn to open up. Other than self-defense or firewood, these "proper" bats are pretty useless. People are very quick to criticize CA bats but , man oh man, do they ping! I have timed a many gentle pushes to boundary with old faithful CA. Batting is fun with a bat that pings and CAs do their job. Nit picking over little things seems silly to me when MOST bats by MOST batmakers fail to fulfill their primary purpose!
