With Hayden super-flopping with the Mongoose bat, can we expect the insane price of the bat to come down? It does look a stylish weapon when compared to the baseball bat that I use to scare off the skunks in my backyard; but the baseball bat costs much lesser.

Hayden would score runs with a broom handle!

I wish for a rocket powered cricket ball, where the bowlers can get an inswinging yorker at 2000 mph. When that wish is answered,the batsman can have mongoose bats.

I have to hand it to Mongoose their publicity machine just keeps on rolling.

Will they develop into a leading brand or are they another woodworm?

You can visit the factory in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire if you wish to see a bat being made. But calling it a bog standard Indian bat is grossly untrue.

The Mongoose is an ENGLISH bat, made from Grade 1 English willow in ENGLAND! It is not an Indian bat! The sweet spot is also twice the size of a conventional bat- not smaller. Get your facts right people! Use one- you’d be converted! This is not a marketing gimmick- it’s the real deal! This time next year, every pro will be using one!

The Mongoose is a bog standard Indian made bat with the shoulders removed, the splice is bog standard but not visable because of the lower blade. It picks up badly, has a far smaller sweet spot, is pressed poorly, far too costly and exists due to marketing rather than need.

who cares is it does become a six hitting contest.
providing the batsmen still play the propper shots and they do not play rediculous shots across line all the time.

the mongoose still allows you to play decent textbook shots. it only limits you when playing a back footed defensive shot because of the handle length.

i play in the surrey downs league div 1.

i have a mongoose MMI3 which i used for the first time at the weekend. the amount of power you get from the bat is amazing.

i played a standard foreward defensive block, the ball pinged off the bat past the bowler for 4.

being used to holding a heavy large bat (BIG KAHUNA)
i found the bat speed i had alot quicker, it feels like your swinging a golf club it feels so light.

all in all im very impresse with the bat.
more people should try it in regular league cricket.

Why is low scoring game no longer considered exciting ?

Why must the bat dominate the ball ?

Was it not exciting to see Shane Warne and Phil Tuffnell bamboozal batsmen ?

Ok its great to see KP smack the ball out of the ground but is cricket not in danger of becoming a six hitting contest?
