I am assuming the bats will be teased but won’t be out for a while ?

Exciting.

Does the pitch of the noise of the ball being hit by Muyeye sound different to the others' bats?

He seemed to hit quite a few nice shots to the boundary until he got out this evening in the Hundred opener.

Definitely different sound , not as solid sounding more metallic maybe ?

But ball was pinging , wonder how that will work with cheaper league balls which seem to be getting worse and worse

As cool as that would be, it would need to be wood... good old MCC law 5.3.2 The blade shall consist solely of wood. You can have minimal toe/side inserts, but this has been done enough times already.

Definitely intrigued by it, but the MCC laws are so restrictive there's very little that can really be innovative. Hunts have done the drilled cores in the past, so it must be something different. Would love for the MCC laws to be relaxed to allow for actual innovation but it doesn't seem likely. An alternative willow/wood wouldn't shock me though, especially with the current supply/demand issues on English Willow which have no sign of letting up for the foreseeable.

Yep, I thought maybe they have drilled a hole down the middle of the cleft, and filled it with EW sawdust!!!! :D

Or, a drilled hole down the middle, and then put an EW (or Lignum Vitae???) ball in it, so it moves up and down the blade when you swing the bat!!!  :o

Not such much a ball, but a different kind of wood core would be an interesting one. It would need to be inserted without glue so as not to contravene law 5.3.2, but that's easily done if the fit is tight. An African leadwood or something of that ilk may provide some sort of benefit I could imagine, albeit at a denser weight. Although is that not something that's been done back in the day by M&H etc? Honeycomb was it? (Would've been pre-my time on this earth so can't really comment! :D)

I seem to remember the honeycomb bits from M&H.
So when is this announcement due?
