Isn't it far more likely that they like a particular bat (most likely one belonging to a teammate) than a particular brand?
I’m sure most of the sponsors don’t care as long as the right stickers are on the bat.Might of been Livingstone I think I read sponsored by Adidas but was using an SS I think he borrowed from a team mate.Might not of got that 100 per cent but think that’s what I read
Adidas bats may well be made by SS anyway?
Think they have an account open with a few bat makers. Because I was at Keeley the other day and overheard an instruction to contact XYZ at Adidas for payment.
