Thanks, Bill.  You're right about Cornford being popular in Sussex.  The nearest one's an undertaker!

  hi,

    To perfectly honest and it pains me to say it becuase they sell 1000's of these bats ,we dont! but in reality it will does no good at all,but if the player think does then thats up to them,as you will know cricket is in the mind.Ithink if it stays you have not got advantage ,but i would not objection to a batsman that had one of these bats in the opposition.

I do know the out come of this item and will be out in the open later this year,in the favour of the small bat makers!

What league are you in?

 

Bill

Bill, what's your best guess as to the outcome of the deliberations?  From my point of view, as a local league umpire, I don't see anything at all wrong with these bats, but I might have to review my position if the MCC get stroppy!

It is true the MCC are considering this mat ter at this moment,sept 2006 there will be new guide lines coming into force!

The bat you refer to does not damage the ball in any way what so ever,and it does not make the bat proform better either,it does protect the back of the bat,and it has sold a lot of bats!!!!

We know some of these matters because we are kept informed seeing as we are cricket bat manufactuers.

Bill

I reckon its just kookaburra trying to sell more bats by making them look cool and boast about about things that a graphite backing could,in theory do.

I don't think that these bats damage the balls.

They are still looking into it as long as i know and if they ban it its because these bats damage the balls.

Are you sure about this?  I'd be very interested if you could post a link to any articles.

There is a law about bats:

Law 6 (The bat)

1. Width and length
The bat overall shall not be more than 38 inches/96.5cm in length. The blade of the bat shall be made solely of wood and shall not exceed 4 1/4 in/10.8cm at the widest part.

2. Covering the blade
The blade may be covered with material for protection, strengthening or repair. Such material shall not exceed 1/16 in/1.56mm in thickness, and shall not be likely to cause unacceptable damage to the ball.

 

As you can see, there's nothing in there about the colour.  I suppose the ICC might get a bit needled about the size of the sticker, but I don't personally see too much that could be called illegal, unless the bat is wider than the permitted 4 1/4 inches (I can't see Ricky Ponting using a bat longer than 38 inches).

They banned them just because they can hot harder? That's not fair.

It reinforces the bat, thus hitting the ball harder. Ricky Ponting's Kookaburra Kahuna bat and the rest of the Kahuna range are the only bat i know of that use graphite.
