Just a quick question to those in the know.
Which indian manufacturer will make bats for brands such as Hero Honda, Reebok, MRF, Nike etc - i'd imagine they would be done by a few different brands but i wasnt sure who made what for who???

Any information is always apprecciated - thanks!

[Mr Cricket]

judging by all the ton stamps going around i would imagine that it is sareens?

[SillyShilly]

But what about the shop bought bats then? They will not have the ton stamps on - we all know that it's mayhem with regards to bats being stickered up and used in the IPL, but what about the bog standard bat that you or i would buy?

[Mr Cricket]

i bought a 20 quid hero honda off ebay when i was about 13, it had ton stamps on it

Then i stand corrected on this one - apolgies mr.c! So SS seem a likely candidate, a birdie tells me that reebok have been seen in the BAS factory - what about MRF  then?

[Mr Cricket]

dont take my word for it mate im sure i will stand corrected as soon as talisman wakes up

[SillyShilly]

i expect asad might have some further insight, he must have been in every factory there is!

[seedy]

All different makers depending on the player ss being the main one.

Anyone and everyone can make Reebok bats. You just need enough willow and to agree to their payment terms.

Thought as much - nomads of the cricket world, wondering around trying to find the best deal.

RNS makes "MRF" not sure someone else does that too.
