Bangladesh cricket bats

[cricket_king]

I was wondering whether members had any knowledge of the kind of bats sold in Bangladesh. My father's going to Bangladesh in about a month and I want him to get me a bat from there. I already have a collection of Kookaburra, Slazenger and Gray Nicolls bats here in Australia, but have no clue on what bat brands are used there. Any help would be appreciated.

Umm...if you're playing in Australia you wouldn't want to use Bangladeshi bats. Bangladeshi bats have a low sweet spot which in Australia wouldn't be ideal as I understand that the pitches in Australia are bit more bouncier than in Bangladesh. Your current bats probably have a lower middle sweet spot which are better suited for the pitches in Australia.

If I'm not mistaken, SHAH manufactures bats in BD. Otherwise, mostly imported from Pakistan and India...Ihsaan, SS, AJ etc.

[cricket_king]

Thanks for your help everyone
I think most bats in BD are imported from India and Pakistan as BanCricFan said, and I wasn't really interested in using one during a match. It's more of a collection, but I still would prefer the best quality bat there.

BTW, where are Matrixx bats made in? I was just curious.

Ash plays with Rbk. Now Hablu followed him. Mahela also plays with this one.


Al Hasan used to play with CA, so as SN. Now Shakib plays with SS. CA is the bat of Inzy



Mashud used to play with MALIK. When I first saw Pakistan's Shoaib Malik playing with a Malik bat, then I thought "wow, he wrote his name in his bat"



Now decide which one to buy.

Thanks a lot BD-Shardul
I like the shape of the Reebok one. I also like the CA one. Toss up between those 2 most likely.

[lamisa]

i heard dat malik is actually pretty good.well usually the best bats come from aus and pakistan i believe.

[fan_frm_the_uk]

i think u cud go for Reebok bats. most of the asian players r using it now a days. even Chris gayle usues reebok. and may be u can try for some hand made bats. may b from india..or there is one in the UK called Fusion. they deal with Gray nicles.

hope it helps

I highly recommend CA 10000. I absolutely loved this bat.

[Shobha]

This has got absoulutely nothing to do with this thread but i thought i should just say that it is now 10.10pm tuesday 22nd janury 2008 and i'm highly spirited
WHY? check out the signature

[Sovik]

i have this bat. haven't got the chance to test it and the way its raining i might not get a chance to get this out of my room before summer

I bought a SF bat from Inter Sports (elephant road) 3 yrs ago and it was great. Light pickup, low sweet spot. Great bat if u want to play in the air. BD players were used to use this bat before. I will probably go with Matrixx now for this season.

what about MRF?

[cricket_king]

A bat with light pick up and a pretty low sweet spot sounds good to me, though the reebok looks to be the most popular in terms of international choices. I'm going for one only used in Asia since I have plenty of Australian and international brand bats. CA 10000 sounds good according to Sadi, as well as the Matrixx (Tamim uses it ). I'll have to ask my father to buy a few more than just one...doubt he'll fit it all into his baggage limit though...Thanks again everyone

whatever u do, make sure its proper english willow and not kashmir willow and also avoid the ones that say 'english willow nutured in india', as thats the same as kashmir lolz. U probably know this but also do tell ur father to test the spring on the bat etc.

'Deshi Jhata' might also be a good option! This has been used to a good effect by some of our legendary players, JO in particular.

Yep, bats are notfor fans, Jhata is for fans.

[Nafi]

this is my bat



Lovely to use the flick of the wrist with this bat, which is harder to do with more curved bats, which I dislike.

And the pick up is so light, its amazing, produces a lovely ping when you hit it dead on the mid bald sweet spot.

the vampire bat that i use is wonderful if you are a driver or cutter, or like to use chip shot straight down the ground
its really great:

Guys, do you know any stores that know how to fix cracks in bats? I bought a new bat from BD 6 months ago and now I already cracked it!

[sbsash]

I have like 4 bats with a handle broken.I taped the handle so it wouldn't fall off and I have 1 bat thats not broken yet.

[sbsash]

My bats are HRS,Addidas,spaulding,CA and a yousuf bat.
