The Mini Goose!
« on: April 27, 2010, 04:30:51 PM »

Hello all,
Just recieved this today, (Many of you may have seen on ebay), did'nt pay to much for it, will report back in a few hours after nets!





REVIEW:

Took this for a proper net today, finally.I really wanted to come on here and say it's just clever marketing, and that this is a toy.... But i can't. The bat picks up heavy, but no where near as heavy as i thought it would, feels pretty normal. the handle is lovely, love the thick chunk at the bottom. Its really nice to play late cuts, and nurdle behind square shots as you can slide your hand down and get right near the striking area, unorthadox yes, but effective. And i think thats the main part of this bat it's unorthodox nature, playing straight through the line, balls go that extra bit further, it is definatly noticable. and when its wide to be hit, my god. I hit the biggest six i have ever struck today, would have cleared the rope by 20m+ and it was against a spinner. I thought this was a curious buy, and was planning to sell next week. but i dont care how much stick from the oppo i get, this will be used this weekend

£100 buy it now I think. Looks great, as I am know as a kit geek at my clubs. They were very surprised I had not bought a Mongoose over the winter.

I would love have a go with one of these. Don't have the funds to buy one but would love to try one.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

would these reasons prevent someone from bidding on it i.e. performance- as it didn't pass your quality control checks according to the listing?

If it's for negative reasons then i think you should either get the bat taken off or inform potential buyers of the reasons why - if it's because of a positive reason then you can leave them all guessing why :)
