Hmmm.... I don't think knowledge of laminated bats is particularly widespread - I think it would be easy for those in the know to get hold of them and use them, which gives them an unfair advantage. So, I'm kind of with Tom - manufacture of these bats should be banned. however, if i could get hold of one I would still probably use it in league cricket.

If batsman can have huge bats, why can't bowlers be allowed to tamper the ball? As Leo says, the game is far too batsman dominated...

I agree with choppy. ball tampering should be allowed within a limit. If everyone knew where to get a laminated bat im sure most people would.

Why use a laminated bat when you can use a mongoose mmi3 - scientifically proven to hit the ball further, makes laminates redundant surely?

Lol, @ the mongoose comment, to me they are a similar product, novelty!

We are chipping in for a low grade goose just for a laugh, it's not a serious bat.

To be honest, I don't think the league people can catch one if he is using a laminated bat. The league in which I play umpires are like 50 or 60 + so I don't think they even know how to figure it out whether it's laminated or not.

I'd be interested as I would love to see the difference between them and regular bats.

Nice mention of the Hedgehog - and if the bat was anything like a 'goose, excellent analogy

It is quite surprising reading these comments.  Some laminated bats work well,  some don't, same as a normal bat.  If the laminate isn't done properly you could end up with a worse performing bat.  The hype around laminates and there exceptional performance capabilities is just that hype.  I've seen some great laminates but that said I've seen some great bats.  I've also seen some shocking ones, of all the ones I've seen, laminates that is, 2 of them were exceptional, the rest I would say you could get the equivalent in a normal cricket bat.
