Do you prefer kashmir or english
i actually prefer a good quality kashmir bat over a medium quality english bat because it hits the ball harder i dont know if that is right but i seem to have better play with it

This is a bit of a no-brainer, English willow easily, whats really suprising is that 2 people have voted Kashmir

There's no question to me. Kashmir is the cheap stuff you use when you're younger and still using semi-soft balls. If you're playing anything over 12 or 13 years or so, it's gotta be English

did you know that a lot of people thta play sub continent first class use kashmir as it is harder. i think that you get just as much power from it

Just cos they use pakistani makers bats (CA, BAS etc) doesn't mean that the bats are from Kashmir willow... Test cricketers, normaly get their bats hand manufactered, and just stick a label...

kashmir is for kiddy cricket.get a good english willow. and i also find that english willow is a bit lighter so its better suited to my type of batting

Whatever it takes!!!
Kashmir Willow is not as bad as many make it out to be. Surely, English willow is better, but for me and the level that I play in, the Kashmir willow works just fine.

Simply, there is a reason why Kashmir willow bats are so much cheaper.
because the costs of procuring the wood, crafting the bat etc is less ? Because stuff from the sub-con is generally cheaper ?

Because, here in Aus anyway, it's a much inferior product.
