Your Cricket Backyard Bats

[Hooper]

What Cricket bat did you/do you use as your official "Backyard bat"?

I have an old County bat, one of the Shane Warne ones that was bought out about 7 years ago, its a size 4 I think. Perfect for any type of shot, especially the reverse sweep six into the corner blocks backyard.It has a crack in the handle but nothing a bit of electrical tape couldn't fix.


Now, I know its going to be hard for all the Poms on here, seing as they have 3 square metres to play backyard cricket in....

I use an old Slazenger, hit the ball over the fence, retrieve it, hit the ball over the garage, get it back, lob the ball in to the tree, give up as the garden's too damn small and have a nap.

a Puma balistic that was nackered and cut down to a middling bat(but smaller as it's about 2-3 inches wide) and an old cheap slazenger bat, the type you get with stumps and a ball that a mate give me.

An old Britannia, which I found out was fake after 4 years of using/having it. Because Britannia don't do bats, they're just a sponsor for Dravid.

My aunt has a huge garden and we use a piece of wood called the 'Cable Clobbler'. It has no blade at all.

Those are crap! They bend, they dent, they're weak.

Terrible choice of backyard bat my friend. Maybe beach cricket, but not backyard.
