It was normal for county cricketers to get two bats for the season from their sponsors in the 1980s. (Check Peter Roebuck and Graeme Fowler's books)

The one argument I think you could make about bats now is that they are manufactured to perform at their optimum quicker and last less time. You hear about players in the 70s/80s using 5 bats across a season, now even guys who are not big hitters like Joe Root are taking 7/8 bats for a 6 week tour.

I'd imagine they're facing more balls now tho I'm practice, playing more games etc too

I don�t think bats have got better at all personally

I think the pressure to produce big bats in acceptable weights has put pay to that

I also think Jonny has a very important point with all year round cricket.

I think its very hard for them to get any better without some big shift in manufacturing methods/technology. At some point the bat making process as we know it will be optimised to the point where any improvements are negligible and tbh i think we have been there for a while.
