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

You should probably stop using kashmir after under 10's.

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

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...

Simply, there is a reason why Kashmir willow bats are so much cheaper.

There is a reason why so many sub continent batsman are so succesfull using kasmir willow bats,

For Example Inzamam.

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.
