bradbury bats

Hi

   I have heard that they make good bats, as for all hand made i do not know the answer to that,it looks like they may have copied our style to some degree,but thats ok with us.

They spend half the year in Aus and half here in the UK.

A polite question for Sidman, who is quote "You",

Thanks, Bill.

there not individually hand crafted there a " classical" cricket bat shape much like fusions but if you contact them they can change weight and whatever else but they have a perfect shape, i dont know what you will get from middlepeg just read the testimonials if theres any i suppose but otherwise try get them to contact paul and sally and work something out

Hi Symmo,

             I think you will see that i said, they may have copied,thats not the same as 'have'.

Bill

 Symmo,

        no probs,we did bring this shape out about 2 years ago and called it the parallel weighted bat which is the reverse of the GN perimeter weighted bat ,they bought that out in 74 and took a patent on it ,which is now exspired.

And to confirm Bradburys do make good bats,we think we do one thing that do not which, is that we test all our bats in our nets first and the customers can also use the bat before they part with well earned money.

 Hi Sidman,

                i think it is inappropriate of you to rant on about my comments when you have not read them correctly,can i suggest that you re-read them and tell me where i have said the things that you have so wrongly stated.

What interest should i declare?

Where did i correct myself?

Where did i say that Bradburys "have" copied our shape ?

How is it dangerous for me, when i have not said the the things that you have wrongly stated ?

How i am i trying to get a bigger slice of market,when we are custom batmakers,dont you realise that hand made batmakers can only make so many bats per week,so common sense will tell you we are very limited as to how many bats we can turn out!

If you mean that i am running down other batmakers,by your burning off,i have only had praise for the hand crafted batmakers, and you could do me a favour,contact all the custom bat makers and ask them if they press they bats by hand i,e literally by hand with no electrical motor,we do.

As for the grow up bit,well i am 65 years old and i do not think i am child like yet.

I have taken your remarks to be offensive, you do not know very much about me,if you did you would not have made your un-warranted remarks.

Sidman you know who i am ,who are you?

Can i ask do you do any charity work ? do you give much to good causes ? do you give many bats and equipment to young cricketers of all races and greeds? if the answer is yes then you have my best wishes,because both myself and my son do!

We give more than we take out of this great cricket game,because we are trully cricket lovers,by the way what is your first class record ? i think my son may be one of the only cricket pro making hand made bats,

.As you may well have gathered by now i am rather upset by your inane remarks.I will ask you to consider is the forum the right place to argue about these matters when we should be enjoying harmless banter regarding all cricket matters and perhaps learning from other people.

I opologise to all you good forumers for my post,i will slide into the back ground now and keep quite.

  Bill, and on behalf of James

PS please forgive any mistakes i may have made it is rather late.

Hi Sid,

       you have still got some things wrong,but i am not going to responed to any more on this matter,because it will get too personal, and that will do no one any good,just one thing We sponsor David Brents brother Gary Brent of Zimbabwe!
