bradbury bats

  Henry,

         me thinks you are a Mischief maker?

  Bill

you think wrong bill! also this is about bradbury bats, not every one wil agree with my OpinionS, and if every one did, it would be quite boring, thats why i put ' i think' in my post.

 Anyway back to the topic, i found out tonight that grant flower has or has had his bats made by bradbury, and as one of the players at my club knows him, he is getting one off him as grant did not want it, and the weight of it, 2lb 4oz!!!! no joke, he must like his light bats grant!

Groovydude - I don't think it really matters at the end of the day unless you are playing cricket as a career.

Personally all these custom bats posts have turned me off them and I know my cricket isn't good enough to make a difference. Before I worry too much about minute details about a bat, i think my technique and shot selection requires my attention.

In that case.

Have a think about what type of player you are and select according to that instead of worrying about brand.

I read a good article the other day giving guidelines about weight, pickup, length etc depending on position in batting order and some other stuff. Trying to find a link for you.

If you score most of your runs driving then select a bat with mid to low sweetspot. If you are opening the batting select one with mid to high that you can move quickly.

Not sure what else. I am no expert. I am in the same dilemma about buying a bat.

If you call both companies they can make something for you. Though I am sure both have stock product that they sell with no customisation.

If I had to choose, between those two, I would go for Bradbury.

Never used either.

All the fusion "supporters" on this forum annoy me. No proof they have had a Test cricketer use one of their bats.

Bradbury - If it is good enough for GOD (S. Waugh) and Punter, then I think it is good enough for you.

I don't believe he has had any test cricketer use his bat.

Just like people ascert that Test cricketers use custom bats and re-sticker them.

My assertion is that no Test cricketer has used a Fusion bat. It usually gets out if they do, just as it did with Bradbury. Until I see proof, I will not give credence to any mumblings by supporters of the custom manufacturers.

JDR i think you have said enough, your tone is quite nauseating and offensive, i would hope that the forum administator will put a stop to these topics because it is people like your good self that stir up un-necessary arguments.

By the way what is your first class record?

I'd be most surprised to see anyone here taken to court for suggesting that player x might be using or not using a particular type of bat.

I shall close this as people annoying other people is not what we're here for.
