Well in Pakistan, I bought cricket bats for 100 rupees!
But I presume you mean bats weighing 4 pounds right?
Apparently Paul Collingwood uses a 4 pound bat when practicing in the nets.
Personally it's ridiculous to even think of using such a heavy bat - hitting any decent quick bowler will be impossible.
Not really for u yes not for me beside if u the with 4 pound bat it will give you better hitting power than 2 - 3 pound bats it so thick so good when you srike with it
beside Sachin use 3 pound bat and it not thgat heavy by the way
aand if you got the muscle then you can hit a fast bowler with 4 pound bats
they are made of two clefts of wood i believe. however if you think you will pick one up and smash away, thats not quite the case, it wouldn't be hard for a batsmen to gain the strength to swing a 4lb bat, but over the long run it would really damage your arms and harm your technique.
colingwood uses it so he can build strength to swing a regular bat faster as prep for ipl games. you would lose so much manouverability from having a four pound bat, it would be really hard to hit shots properly.
i play tennis quite a bit, and i usually play with a 300g racket, but i played with a 420g racket once, after half hour my arm felt so tired, i could barely hit any shots correctly.
if a 4lb bat really was a superior hitting tool than a high 2lb bat, every player in t20 would be using heavier bats. The key is light bats, with very good ping and sweet spot.
