soon be revealed Dom, need to add few more to ur list

[SillyShilly]

Have they given you a graphite insert lamination at all, i would love to see one of those

I hope these companies making them get banned from the world stage.

Why tom?

[Tom]

Because I know the MCC are paying particular attention to laminates. And the manufacturers deserve to be banned due to blatant disregard to the spirit and laws of the game.

hmm i suppose, but they are fun for nets and social games t20's the like.

seems to be alot of hype over laminated bats on here lately...am i right in stating they are illegal for use in league cricket?

Can anyone honestly say they would think of using one if they owned one and knew the chances of being caught were slim in a league game....if they go that well the temptation is always going to be there to give it a try IMO

Tom. . . . . .its all about supply and demand matey . . . these bats are being used by pro's too.

who would know if its a laminate if it was covered with fibre glass tape???

There are some big names who have used these bats.

Personally i cant wait for Asad to get his shipment.

looking forward to seeing them

im not saying the demand isnt there for a bat thats going to improve the distance you hit the ball....alot like golf clubs thats are illegal to use in competitions i guess.....clubhead the size of a shovel on some that i saw the other week....

i think this/carbon fibre would be a good un to laminate in between to get some decent rebound response from the two materials combined!

To some extent, I am with Tom - given they are illegal and using them in a match is againts the spirit of cricket - personally I would love one, but I have no idea when I would use it, so wont be partaking.
Plus if I do see one in a game I am playing I will make some comments to the umpire... who almost certainly wont have a clue what I am talking about!!!

[SillyShilly]

People have said they perform better, though depending on the quality of the lamination they can provide no added benefit whatsoever......very hit and miss.
Tom - you worry too much about the big wigs at the MCC, it's not as if these bats provide 20% more power and a 15% increased bat speed.....

There are far too many old farts running the game. they think that innovations like T20 is sacrilege.

Some of them think that Ted Dexter and Tom Gravenny are still playing the game.

Anything that brings people to the game including further distance hitting has gotta be good.
