For those of us engaged in the task of creating batpacks, it would be extremely helpful to know what bats are in current use by whom so that we can make sure they all get made and everyone is happy. To that end, I am trying to put a list together of which bats are used by which country's players on a team by team basis.
OK. Time to update this thread a bit. We now have a list of Australian State teams as well thanks to Langerrox, so feel free to chip in here with info on your favourite Aussies too. Also, I've changed the name of this thread as the 48-bat limit has become redundant. The limit is now 255.
Below are the lists of the teams and the players' bats as best as I can discern. I have spent many hours scouring the Internet researching as best I could what bats these particular players use. Predictably, finding up-to-date images of some of the players batting was impossible so I'd be really grateful if those of you with local knowledge could help out with the missing information.
So, here are the lists (missing info in red; updated info in green):
If there are players in the squad who don't belong, and others who do, then please let me know so that they can be researched as well.
*NOTE: IF YOU DON'T FIND THIS TO BE A WORTHWHILE EXERCISE, THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH. BUT PLEASE DON'T BOTHER POSTING TO THAT EFFECT HERE. THIS PROJECT WILL, I BELIEVE, BE WORTH IT BUT IT REQUIRES THE KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER PEOPLE THAN JUST MYSELF. ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED.
