GM cricket bats

The best GM cricket bats

We do some work for The Wisden Cricketer. Our recommended cricket bats are based on their Gear Guide 2008, in which they tested an extraordinary number of bats, giving star ratings for each.

The GM Purist II 909 was given four stars. It’s a light bat that you can easily employ for quick-batted strokes, improving reaction times.

About GM

GM, who are based in Nottingham, have been making cricket bats since 1885, so they presumably know a thing or two about the process. An enormous number of cricketers have used GM bats down the years. Currently Graeme Smith and Michael Vaughan are among their number.
