What would be the ideal cricket bat size of a person who is about 6ft?
I want something that is lightweight.
I was thinking of something like this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GRAY-NICOLLS...outThisProduct
Or the same one but in size 5

any will do to hit you round the head with
for me i use a newberry :) if your 6ft then i would say 6 but a 5 would do

Yes. making this longer.Quote:

The more you knock it in the better you'll get of out the bat. So i guess it's worth it.
I have a Woodworm, best bats IMO. they are pretty light :)
I want a nice looking bat tbh.. A nice lightweight one.
The reviews on Gray-Nichol's bats are pretty bad... I don''t know if i should get a fusion one.
Aren't heavier bats meant to be better? :P
Yer. You just gotta be able to lift 'em.Quote:

Just to let you know, Indian bats work in Australia, England, South Africa, Ireland, Pakistan, EVERYWHERE =D
Same for Australian bats. They don't stop functioning when you leave the country. If its a good bat, then there is every point in buying an Australian bat.

Anyway, if you know anyone from India, or can find an Indian shop online, try to buy from them. Amazingly cheap. I got a original Reebok bat for just £10.
I got a nice MRF bat [Sachin Tendulkar]
Looks like this
The same reason why Australians occasionally buy English equipment, it could turn out cheaper :rolleyes:Quote:

My opinion is that he is anti-Non-English. Complains about everything which isn't England. Best to just ignore his posts in the future, will just cause arguments.Quote:
