Which is the best kashmir willow cricket bat? I am looking for a light bat. There are some on this site http://www.cricketshot.com - http://www.cricketshot.com under 100 dollars. Please suggest me I am an attacking batsman.

You really dont want to buy a kashmir bat. Kashmir willow is heavier and easier to crack than an english willow one. None of the kashmir bats that i have seen lasted more than 2 seasons. Try this, this is a english willow bat for under $90 http://www.cricketshot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&manufacturers_id=1&products_id=34 - http://www.cricketshot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info& amp;manufacturers_id=1&products_id=34 My mate's got one of them. The bat's got a good middle and a fairly light pick up. But it's got the thickest edge ever!!!! Youll never need to worry about edging the ball.

Looks good. I also looked at Kookaburra Diablo Rage Cricket Bat
and Kookaburra Kahuna Twister Cricket Bat at http://www.di�kssportinggoods.com - http://www.di�kssportinggoods.com they are around the 100 mark too. Are these good?

Ive never seen Diablo Rage. But i tried a Kookaburra Diablo Fury, it was very light. I suppose Diablo Rage would be quite similar to Diablo Fury. I also dont know much about Kahuna twister. Is it the same bat that Ponting has? If it is, it should be a good bat.

I forgot to say, Kookaburra produces better bats than BAS.

Kookaburra is better!!! Kookaburra can make a 2lb10 bat feels like a 2lb8 whereas a 2lb8 BAS bat feels like a 2lb10.

thats a very vague reason to say that are better, and it won't be true to all bats they make.

woodworm are good. pretty bulky but suprisingly light once you get used to them.
