  1. i want to steal those beautiful bats . :-)

  2. @MiniRossin use the kashmir one for rough or easy use..use english for match use..oil the english one and knock it in..make sure its knocked in well..and take good care of it

  3. Hi guys … I just bought a new Adidas bath , actually I bought 2 … One English and One kashmir… whats the different, i¨m new in cricket… I¨m from india so I bought it from there…. But i bought it right from the fabric

  4. fuckin thick bat!!!!!!!!!

  5. @teamgippy09 , you have to oil every bat of the bat were there is wood, if there is stickers or extratec u dont not need to oil those spots, also oil the egdes

  6. thank you for the video :)

  7. f%^k that is fattt

  8. Can anyone help me, I uncovered a bottle of WISDEN SPECIAL VARNISH from my grandparents loft, I can find no reference to varnish for bats anywhere. It is in a glass bottle in it original box, made by John Wisden & Co Ltd Penshurts Kent, and seems of some age. I am just curious toknow about it. Thanks in advance to any one with some info.

  9. man that edge is f***ing huge, and i thought mine was big

  10. THat Tune get irratating

  11. i just baught a bat, and the guy said to only oil the back because there is extract on the front, but iv u arnt supposed to why would a greg chappel shop keeper tell you tooo???

  12. yes you do. you just dont put oil on the extratec. you oil ever other area of wood tht is exposed.

  13. He didnt mention if you dont knock in your bat properly over time you will get horizontal cracks across your bat grains.

    If the ball strikes these cracks in a game it will fly off the bat, but is still doing damage.

    If you have horizontal cracks its best to put fibreglass sheeting across the cracks and mostly the edge.

  14. lol, you dont oil if you have a exteract sheet.

  15. use wooden at 1st then either use ball mallet or an old ball in a sock

  16. ss owns them both!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. i would knock now like in the vid and then maybe for 30min-1h near season

  18. do u need to oil then put the xtratec or the other way

  19. Yes you can, bu the the seam on the ball mallet can sometimes do more harm than good….my recommendation would be to use a specially designed wooden mallet, they only cost about $10

  20. is there a specific sound you want to get when knocking in?

  21. wheres ur shop?

  22. I have a question. I have just got this new bat, the season does not until April. Do i knock it in now or near to when the season starts?

  23. yes, it does the same job :)

  24. that is one huge bat!

  25. Good helpful video thanks:)
