Sir Garfield Sobers used a bat weighing no more than 2lb 3 granted craftmanship has come on hugely as pick up weights have decreased..........It is entirely personal prefference!!! but if i was facing 90+ mph i would want as light as possible!

Lots just don't know. They all ask for 2lb 8-10 but that mean anything up to 2lb 14oz.

Hasn't ask for a specific weight, it's all about the feel. Will probably be 2lb 12ish though.

Didn't I just say it was about the feel? If a 3lber felt ok, then use it he would. I'd imagine it would be on the heavy side though.
