Could this be a batmaker conspiracy to reduce the cost of sponsorship in difficult times? Is it really newbery acting on their own? A slightly controversial view I know!

[procricket]

I doubt it about this it about losing face and trust as i find the industry there a lot of cross pollination and corroboration maybe they have closed a few doors with this

[peplow]

but potentially opened a lot more too??

[procricket]

doubt it mate more harm than good they make more bats for other's  at the chalet than newbery

There main business must be contract

Newbery have TK, the best in the business.

competitive advantage.  . . .why not show off.

[tim2000s]

How many of these are newberys and how many tim keeleys?  We know many makers make for more than one company.

[procricket]

It all good being the best but to a average reader of wisden Tim Keeley is not known i suspect and this is not the way to introduce him

If he is the best hypothetically why do Newbery not sell on the scale there own brand like the big boys

[100 not out]

mass production can compromise on quality standards.

how many bats have something to do with him or his pressing?

[Tom]

Newbery have TK, the best in the business.

competitive advantage.  . . .why not show off.

As do other companies.

the others dont tell or wont tell u about him though
(my stickers sorted Tom?)

Newbery do refer to him

[Tom]

the other 10 dont tell or wont tell u about him though
(my stickers sorted Tom?)

No, because the others respect Newbery's business.

[100 not out]

or people might buy newbery instead?

[Tom]

You're not making any sense.

[procricket]

what when the other companys sell there bats cheaper than newbery .........

Why buy a bat just on a sticker

some of the other company's could make money telling you it's made by them but do not out of respect.....

[100 not out]

theres not much in it in terms of price any more Dave,
top end bats.
