I have 3 bats. One, a willostix that I've absolutely knackered up, doesn't see the light of day. I'm not sure where it is. I net with the same bat I use in a match. I sometimes use the other one if I'm in the mood to hit things in the nets, or on a Sunday when I'm shattered from day before, as it's lighter. But very rarely. Shininess, I think, is the reason people have more than one! If there's a new bat, they need it!

Iv got a few as people tend to borrow kit if u own a company that makes it as such....brother, dad, other lads at the club.

Use the same bat in nets as I do in a match and if it breaks it breaks....them have a spare to replace it with. Only got 4 bats now though :) of which 1 will be loaned out again like last season I'd think and others are spares

The Justification:-

I have 2 bats in my bag at all times. Usually my match bat, and then some kind of T20 big bugger bat if twatty violence is needed.


The Reality:-

I am a truly dreadful batsman who only needs 1 bat at any time, but I am a hopeless fantasist who keeps buying different bats in the hope that each one will make me better.

I will be using 4 next year. A match bat, a backup match bat (50/50 use throughout the season :D), Net bat and a middling bat. H4L is going off for the season to some friends I owe for some TLC!

I have 3 bats - 2 match bats and a heavy net bat with higher middle.

The use of which match bat depends on how they feel prior to going out to bat

I only have 1 match bat and I take a spare which I am usually knocking in as my next bat. Old bats either get kept for posterity or given away to team mates or sold.
