Looking on their websites, they seem so full of themsealves.
" If you ever had the chance to ask the best players in the world who the single most highly respected and sought after bat maker is"

Who makes them , does the same bloke make bradbury australia and bradbury in england ? Are they really that good that they say all the best players would use their bats if it wearnt for endorsement ?

Noticed peter george used one today for the aussies v india.

I heard some were Indian made, but I know some are also made in Taunton. Don't know about the Aussie ones.....

Most are made in india, by bdm or someone?

Some of the higher end ones can be made in taunton but they are so expensive, guy at my club went and saw his get made but payed the world for something that wasnt overly amazing! the indian ones are so square too!!

My friend is sponsored by Bradbury and his bats are big and light but never last long, he has the �220 bat nad it keeps breaking on him. Softs are very nicce though.

Saw a load of Bradburys in Romida Sports, Rochdale at xmas time and wasn't impressed with any and must have picked up at least 10. Pick up felt bottom heavy and they seemed as wide as a barn door! But as Colesy said softs are impressive!

are they factory made then or is it like the CA batmaking vid ??

not sure at all mate, factory made probably,

they seem wide because of the squareness of the edges

Yeah my friend who got one made taunton broke 3 times within 2 months and he kept having it repaired, was such soft willow, did go well though but was pricey!

peplow · « **Reply #8 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:37:36 AM »

No i am not knocking the englush made ones, they are good bats, but there are much better for the same budget imo!

Softs are brilliant, I bought pads and gloves in the ECB sale last year for �20 combined, best softs I've worn!

A guy at my club has one, that is Indian made (well thats what the Guys at PLS told him). The bat goes very nicely, has a nice strip of heartwood, tidy grains and a generous profile. As he bought it from eBay, from a well known seller,he got it for a good price (�127 if I remember correctly), however signs of a seaons use are beginning to show with the toe cracking, and edges cracking up too. Personally, I would only buy British made, but thats my patriotic side.......

lol what brand doesnt!!!!

but bradbury take it one step too far lol
" If you ever had the chance to ask the best players in the world who the single most highly respected and sought after bat maker is"
"If sponsorship endorsements were not such a massive income for these players, what labels would they use on their bats?"
"What did they use before they were so very famous? "

I mean this is one step too far!!
