Uzair Bhai thank you very much... Once i get that, i will post the pictures.
I am currently using CA Plus 5000 and its a terrible bat... i mean, i am not satisfied with it at all. Its sweet spot is limited, i guess the piece i got might by a faulty one. Can you tell me how to get that bat going? i have tried knocking by hammering and have played in nets too, but i dont know why, it just doesn't feel right.
No worries yaar!
What are you saying its faulty? Can you post pictures of it so all of us can see it ?
Also what type of pitches do you play on ?
Uzair Bhai, since you are the encyclopedia of cricket equipments, how do you think CA Plus 12000 l.e. compares with the top end bats of GM, GN, Newbery, Reebok, Adidas, Kookabura, SS and BAS.
How Pakistani bats fare in comparison with English, Australian and Indian bats??? At one time i know that Pakistani bats were the best in the world but what about their reputation now???
Nowdays a lot of people (including me first of all) says that Pakistani bats are not good anymore compare to Indian or English bats. However, as time goes I seem to disagree with this fact.
The problem with Pakistani bats which make them stand a bit far from others is that some Pakistani bats have poor handle which result a breakage very quickly, however, some say the pressing on Pakistani bat toes is not good but so far I have found them good.
Kookaburra, Gray Nicolls and Adidas get there bats made in India. However, some of Gray Nicolls top ends bat are made in England and some are made in India. Kookaburra bats are 100% made in India and same goes with Adidas.
In my opinion, the price tag top of the line Kookaburra along Adidas bat has is not justified because I'd never pay that much for a Indian made bat because they are not worth that much in my opinion. Since SG makes there bats I can get close to two top of the line SG bats in that price of one top of the line Kookaburra. Again this doesn't mean they are not good bats, they are very good and indeed perform well as well.
I don't think Reebok make bats.
Personally I hate SS bats as I don't get along there bats shape and found them terrible.
BAS are good and I have seen a lot of them, they play well as well. To me they looked like CA but with better handle feel etc.
Gunn and Moore, makes impressive bats and I have seen there top of the line bats and trust me they perform exceptionally well.
Newbery bats are impressive and I'm not saying this because I have one but there bats are really good. There finishing and pressing is the best in the world if not then the best.
So my pick would be that it would be unfair to compare CA 12000 Plus LE TRD with Newbery and somewhat with GM but they are not that bad and they do stand out among Kookaburra, SS etc.
If Pakistani bats improve there handle quality and finishing then they can one of the top in the world.
Pakistani bats still are best bats for its value.
the best bat would be the one that performs best. Since wood is a natural material, no one can guarantee how it will perform but it is supposed that higher models would perform better.
Spot on Armie Bhai, you have nailed it!
