Possibly Fake CA 12000 Plus TRD LE?

[Cover Drive]

Wait for the photos just to be 100%.

I think a big give away is also on the dilshan bats the toe guard either sais TRD or DILSHAN on it (i cant remember what) but it also sais either of them.

Just in general, does anyone know, are CA Stickers readily accessible to the public?

Actually no, the toe guard on TRD are mike some are plain gray like that, some have CA Plus 12000, some I think have TRD or Dilshan as you suggest.

I have never seen CA stickers being readily accessible but I do get surprised by number of counterfeits CA stickered bats, I wonder where they get the stickers from.

Help me out brother. Why wouldnt you use a Top end bat on a 2 piece ball?

That is simply because of the fact that top end bats cost fortune and the two piece balls are very hard which increase chances of bat breaking.

My friend's literally brand new Puma Iridium 3000 broke in nets as he drove a full length ball and the ball was two piece (handle snapped).

I wouldn't suggest you a Asian bat especially because you will be using it against two piece ball as Asian bats in general are softer pressed compared to English bats.

Since it is two piece ball I would still not recommend you a top end bat, I would say go for a mid range bat such as Gray Nicolls 5 Star range or GM 808 range.

2 piece or 4 piece ball doesn't really matter much, as long as you don't get one of the crappy Pakistani or Indian balls.

Well it does matter mate

I respectfully disagree Never had any problems with bat breakage (or seen any problems) throughout junior cricket and we only used 2 piece balls in junior cricket. In seniors now we use a 4 piece and the only thing is it doesn't move as much in the air as a two piecer

I agree with POison, although we are both from Sydney. The two piece balls we use are of decent quality so I think that would be where the confusion lies.

I do no issues of some of the cheap Two Peace Balls but definetly not the kookaburras the australians play with.

Bat is 100% fake. The stickers are fake, willow quality is poor, toe guard doesn't look factory fitted. I can tell by just looking at one picture bat is fake, its not a CA plus 8k or 5k.

I guess the most intriguing part is the burnt CA logo

I think it definetly has to be some sort of CA. Whether its a 5000 or a 20/20 Power etc who knows. A good profile shot would be the only way to work it out.

It is definitely a CA bat, one can tell that by looking at one picture

Profile will be exactly the same as TRD, as these are copied of the real thing, very difficult to spot unless u have a trained eye and see them in real. Whoever makes these fake bats they try to make these look real and many people are conned into buying them. Genuine holograms are taken off cheap low end CA bats and used on these fakes.

 

[Knightrider]

Its not a CA bat, I know this fact because I have seen these fakes in real.
