A New Cricket Bat

Personally I think this one will go the way of the double sided bat (making it easier to play the reverse sweep, because yeah it's a pretty common part of the game...........DUH!) and the bat with the S-shaped handle.............

But then again, it's not quite as radical as the others. Who knows? Maybe we'll eventually have bats that look like Celtic swords!

What do you use bats for?

(You'll only get this if you've seen me play this season)...

Kimbo · 17-05-2002, 03:42 PM

FrontierPsychiartrist · 20-05-2002, 06:03 AM

Last season I had an average of around 43, but that was after a couple of good scores. It was the season before that that I was REALLY bad.

Neil Pickup · 20-05-2002, 01:34 PM

I haven't bowled particularly often but my average for School over Years 9 and 10 was 11.09 so that's not too bad. I'm just inconsistent as anything - I go from 4-0-11-2 to 1-0-9-0...
