Cricket Bats Online

[kp4captain]

Hi, I am on the market for a new bat. I am not a serious player and don't play for a club, but still olve the sport and love playing, but my ancient Slazenger has now had its day. I don't want to pay too much for a bat seeing as it won't be over-used, but have always liked to have a better and more stylish bat than everyone else
Unfortunately, where i live, what little places stock bats are either too expensive or don't stock much of a range, so i will have to buy online. Just wondering if anybody can recommend some good sites that have cheap bats (Harrow, no more than about £25), but like i mentioned they have to be nice styles (e.g. Gray Nicholls, Gunn and Moore, Adidas, Kookaburra are my favourite four)

Thanks

I don't imagine you'd be able to get any kind of English Willow bat for £25, and a Kashmir Willow bat will break with a hard ball.

I think the cheapest English Willow bat you'll be able to find would be around £50 and that would be something like 3rd grade willow. Though, others may know of some English sites which sell really cheap bats. Have a look around online, i'm sure there are plenty of UK cricket suppliers with sites.

To be honest, it will mostly be used with a windball, and only occaisonaly a cricket ball, and when a cricket ball is used it will not be the quickest or most dangerous bowling.

From experience (when I was a kid) it doesn't really matter how quickly a cricket ball is bowled, it will eventually break a kashmir willow bat.

Though, if you really can only spend £25 then you should be able to find a kashmir willow bat for that, it's just a matter of finding a shop or an online store which sells them. And since I don't live in the UK, I have no idea where you'd need to look.
