Without doubt the most important views of any business are those of its customers. Middlepeg is happy and proud to share these views from the hundreds of past and present customers we delight in dealing with from all over the world.
*********************************************************
"I happened upon Middlepeg when I started searching for cricket equipment specialists around the world. I play for the Des Moines Knights Cricket club (www.knightscricket.org) based in the state of Iowa in the United States. At that time, I was searching for a cricket bat that was reasonable in price and played like a "champ." I was surprised to see that Middlepeg carried a whole line of sub-continental brands like MRF and CA. I have had much success with both these brands before, but they did not always fit my budget. I was shocked to see the low prices on most of Middlepeg's cricket inventory. It was incredible low compared to the other online stores.
It didn't stop there. Next, I sent an email to Middlepeg inquiring about the actual price on a CA Gold bat (the actual one used by Inzi ul-Haq of Pakistan) and the shipping charges to the US (this was very important to me, as I had taken a few on my chin with S/H charges before). David from Middlepeg promptly replied back to me in a few hours time with the all the information I wanted. In the meantime, I did a search for the CA Gold bat here in the US, and I found it at a number of sites where the best price was listed at around $170 USD (excluding S/H)
David quoted me $132.50 USD and the S/H came to around $10 USD. I jumped on this offer, and I received my bat in about 9 days. Let me tell you that for that price, I got a top of the line bat (about 7-8 grains in the English willow!!!!) and its quite possibly the best bat I have ever played with (2.12 lbs of sheer power!) Not only that, Middlepeg sent me actual photos of the very same bat I was to receive (showing the 8 grains) the day before I had ordered...the closest I could come to without actually holding it. Now, thats unique for a business to go that extra yard...If you check this site out, you'll notice that they have actually explained the different shapes of the cricket bat, and the nuances of strokeplay.
Now, these guys actually go out there and play in local leagues in Western Australia, test their products out and sell them on their site. They may not have the variety of brand names like others do, but that is because they only want to sell the best top of the line quality for unbeatable prices. For quite possibly the best customer service that is out there, Middlepeg is the place for you. A few teams in our area have also switched to Middlepeg cricket "

Recently I purchased a Laver
& Wood Private Bin online through Middlepeg Cricket and I am only too
delighted to say a few words about both the bat and the great service from
Middlepeg. After receiving the bat I was contacted by Middlepeg as part of
their after sales service to ensure that I was happy with the bat. When I
first lay eyes on my Private Bin I could hardly believe the outstanding
quality and craftsmanship of it. After using it for the first time I could
also hardly believe how good it felt in dispatching balls away. Having
played cricket for the past 18 years I still in fact cant believe the
difference between my Private Bin and the many other bats I have used and
this is echoed by my team mates who have had a hit with it. I now know why
so many well known cricketers use bats that have been made by James Laver…I
thoroughly recommend all cricketers to discover and feel the difference
for themselves. And after having dealt with Middlepeg Cricket on a number
of occasions now I also recommend them for their great range, great prices
and genuine belief in making the customer happy which is so enjoyably
refreshing.

My brother received his shirt yesterday and
he was chuffed - he cant get enough of the Aussie cricket team. Thank you
for including his birthday card and writing the words that I sent to you
as per our instructions. He mentioned to me that he has checked your
online store out and has already "placed an order" for next
years birthday with me - the cheeky <……>.

Hi, just wanted to thankyou for your email,
and the CA bat is excellent I can't wait to hit some runs this season with
it. I might have some other people interested in getting one. Thank you,

I am a keen cricket enthusiast ( some say
cricket crazy Indian !!) and pride myself on my cricket knowledge. I have
known James Laver since last year and I was lucky enough to be introduced
to David from Middlepeg by him earlier this year.
I wish I had met David earlier. I have never met a cricket retailer so deeply in love with the game. This is apparent from the time he gives each of his customers. He understands the idiosyncrasies of cricketers - the best equipment for one may not be the best for another- and is able to not only meet their requirements, but exceed them.
I have only purchased equipment worth about $600 from David and he spent about 3 hours with me showing the best cricket goods I have come across anywhere. This is a quality rarely seen in any retailer. David genuinely wants to see his customers happy and is willing to go to any lengths to do that.
He stocks the absolute best equipment from around the world and at affordable prices. I have decided that I am not buying any cricket equipment from any other cricket store except Middlepeg.
Have a look at his Morrant batting pads and range of bats. See David personally and I am sure you will agree with me fully.

To anyone that reads this, I have played
cricket and been a cricket gear junkie all my life. 5 weeks ago I
purchased a bat off Middlepeg (a brilliant Laver & Wood) Cricket and I
really cant believe the lengths these guys go to to make sure that my hard
earned dollars are well spent and that I got the best deal possible.
I got my custom made bat within 5 days or ordering, had it run in and faced by Middlepeg in another 4 days and was using it in a game the day after. And they have even called me a few times afterwards to make sure that I am happy with the way the bat is going!
So to anyone that is reading this here is my simple advise - I have never come across a company that cares so much about us the customers so if you are buying cricket gear then get it from Middlepeg. They carry the best stuff and nobody even comes close to them on their prices. Feel free to email me directly if you like - I will vouch for these guys anytime.

Hi David,
I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner and let you know how much Stephen likes his bat.
He has used it in 3 games now. Being in under 12's they are not allowed to make more than 20 runs in an innings. First game he got to bat twice and ended the day with 41 (his best ever). Game 2 he retired again with 21. Game 3 he was lucky enough to be picked to play in a combined team for our cricket association and he top scored for his team with 18.
He is a very happy little vegemite indeed. I am sure there will be plenty of other kids and adults from the club being in touch with you about buying bats. Many of the seniors seemed very impressed with the quality of the bat.
Anyway, thanks again for all of your help.

Hi Middlepeg I received the bat with no
problems and am impressed with it so far although still preparing it. The
weight feels good and there haven't been any surface cracks or splitting
so far and I am at the stage where I am knocking it in quite hard so I
don't think there will be any problems. Thank you for your help when
ordering etc and I will recommend you to other cricketers in my area as I
was very impressed with service and price. Kind regards,

Hello mate,
I haven't received those as yet but I was going to come to your Bradman night anyway!!! Don't know if Roy will be able to join me but my father is over from UK at the mo and he loves his cricket too. we are really looking forward to it! I'm chuffed with my bat, I didn't manage to use it in anger but I've had loads of nets and the feel is excellent. I'm going home in June/July for the Ashes and I shall play a couple of games with it then. Have you got any larger sizes of Padman shorts yet? Good luck with the new centre and I'll see you next week. Thanks for thinking of us. Cheers,

Hello Phil,
Received the pads yesterday and must say that we were all very impressed with their quality at training tonight. I was a little dubious about the standard of quality that I would receive in a pad that cost so little but these pads as you said are easily the equivalent of a £70 pad.
Your Sawar pads are in fact lighter and better than the < > I bought last year and they cost me £65 on special which is more than double what I just paid you.
Have seen you carry Bradbury bats now as well so I will shortly be placing an order for a Sovereign as your price for this bat is very competitive and they are difficult to find in the UK. Could you please advise how much the shipping will be for a bat to my same address?
Thanks "mate"

Thank you Middlepeg ‘Support Staff’ for
sorting out the extra pair of inners – for some reason he really thinks
he needs them now that Alan and I are using them, even though he is only
15. Your website is now firmly on our favourites list and your it for
cricket gear from now on.

You were right, it is a belter. Have run it in now {Bradbury Sovereign bat} and having owned dozens of bats I finally have one that I am so totally in love with…the middle is just awesome. Brilliant guys.

Hello Middlepeg,
It was and always will be a great pleasure ordering cricket supplies from you. Your prices are smashing. Your service and dispatch times are fast, even though you are half way around the world for me. The range of cricket bats you carry are just awesome, the Bradbury Sterling bat I got from you, wow, jaw dropping serious piece of wood you picked for me, no one could have done a better job. The Morrant pads I purchased from Middlepeg , I just love playing with them. Middlepeg will always get my business for my personal cricketing supplies.

To those who are reading.....
We bought 2 Laver &Wood Private Bin collection bats from Middlepeg. It
is to the exact specification and let me tell you....it is a beauty!!
Having shopped on-line for many years, dealing with Middlepeg was the
easiest experience I've ever had in buying any kind of merchandise over
the web!! They are extremely knowledgeable and courteous!! David knows his
products and the shipment was amazingly quick (6 days to NZ from NJ)!! He
takes personal interest in the services rendered which is very rare in any
business. He truly has set an example for other vendors of all sorts. It
was a pleasure dealing with Middlepeg and David. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,
BRO !!

David, so nice to hear from you; in reply,
the bat is superb, first time out Matt scored 17 runs from 11 balls which
made him teams second highest scorer, quite an achievment for someone who
often doesnt get to bat. Seriously the service we recieved from middlepeg
was brilliant faster than most companies in this country and we will
definitely call again when we need anything for the cricket side of my
sporty sons life, its just a shame you don't do rugby as well then we in
England would be in seventh heaven.

So far this season, two matches have been
cancelled and this weekend's match saw our top order do well enough to
keep me on the bench. The only match in which I did bat saw me driving
straight to cover for a second ball duck! [Driven quite forcefully with my
big new Bradbury Sovereign, I might add. I hope I didn't crack the poor
chap's ribs.] I will certainly write when I have more to praise about the
product. As in my previous email, the service you provide is outstanding.
Receiving a handcrafted bat made to my specifications, on the other side
of the world, in five days (including a weekend) is a level of service
which should be emulated by many more companies. Keep up the good work.
Cheers

Hi Middlepeg
Thanks very much for my cricket gear, it arrived yesterday, as you said, and they are fantastic. The quality is great and they look really good as well.
I will be in touch soon with my next order.
Thanks again

Just wanted to write to say thankyou for the goods, they all arrived
safely and in perfect condition. I am very impressed with the quality of
the bat and look forward to using it soon. I have already begun using the
pads and gloves. Great quality and extremely light- weight.
Anyway, thanks again for you great service and prices. I think everyone appreciates your kind of service and product.
Look forward to hearing from you in the near future with the other gear.
Sincerely,

I first discovered Middlepeg by accident while shopping online for a new
cricket bat. None of the general searches I had entered had thrown them
up, until I think the very last one I tried. At first glance, their
equipment and price list were the best I had found to date at that stage,
and I decided to drop them a mail, requesting a quote. Forgetting they
were in Australia, and in my impatience, I decided to call them to make
sure they received my mail. It was about 23h00 Australian time, but David
was still at the office, working away at his orders. We had a good chat
about things, and he assured me that my mail would be answered by morning.
On checking my mail the next day, Middlepeg had responded with my quote,
and plenty of helpful advice about the order and cricket equipment in
general. I can tell you quite honestly that I'd had neither the level of
service, or considered thought in many dealings with other suppliers so
far, as I'd had in just this single dealing with Middlepeg. The prices of
the equipment on offer were simply unbeatable. For the prices quoted, I
would be able to purchase a bat, the CA Sawar, and pads and gloves, CA
Gold, inclusive of shipping to Aberdeen in Scotland, for (much) less than
the cost of just a bat, of inferior quality, anywhere locally. I had
explained my concerns to David about buying a bat over the net, as I could
not be there to inspect it myself. In response to this, he assured me that
he would select a bat specially for me, to suit my game, and like all of
their customers, I received a photo of the bat in evidence of this. The
photo, and David's assertion that the bat was, in his words, a "belter",
and their already impressive record of going to great lengths to assure me
of their best intentions, I went ahead with the order. They treated the
bat with oil, and edged and faced it for me - at minimal cost - posted the
kit on a Tuesday, and I had it in my hands on the Friday afternoon - 3
days delivery all the way from Aus. I was blown away! The quality was
immediately obvious. I have since taken the time to run the bat in, and
have used it for the first time this past weekend. I didn't get many, but
the bat is a dream - the best balanced bat I think I have ever used, and
the power is considerable.
In looking for a supplier, I had come across many who had made the promise of great things - service and quality wise - but, in trying them, they were either not interested, or interested only in making a sale and taking your money. Middlepeg are the genuine article when it comes to delivering quality product, at more than reasonable prices, and all with the greatest of customer care. I doubt very much that I will ever buy my kit from anywhere else.

Hello David,
James from the Prague Cricket Club here.
You mentioned a while ago about an individual Bradbury bat for players if they wanted one. I've just had a swing with one of the club Bradbury bats you sent us, and Lord, are they beautiful bats! How would I go about ordering a Bradbury for myself.

Thanks for the prompt expedition of our order - we really were desperate
to make sure the game could go ahead next weekend. Now so long as the
monsoons stay away we will get that trophy back.
BTW, some of the others said they would be in contact with you for some personal gear of their own so keep an eye out - I have already advised them they better get in contact asap if they want it for the big game.
Yours with thanks

My name is Anuraj and for the past year and a half I was searching around
for the pads Sachin Tendulkar wears. Now, after extensive research and
inquiry I always got nowhere. Even last year I went on www. <blanked
out>.com and ordered a pair that to me on internet looked like Sachin's
leg guard. But alas! it wasn't even close. It had three straps and it was
not as light as it looks on Sachin's legs. So, my research took me to www.
<blanked out > .com one day. And I was really excited to see that
they had the pads I was looking for.
So, I emailed them and was very disappointed to see that it will cost me another $150 just for shipping and it will take around 20-25 days for delivery. I was very very disappointed. So, I thought I'll forget about the pads and maybe someday if I go to England I will buy them there. But one day I was browsing on the internet and typed Ultralite Pads and I came across www.middlepeg.com and I was amazed to see that they offered these pads and at an amazing shipping cost and delivery time. I thought it was too good to be true and most importantly it had everything I needed to know about those pads including a real good story behind these leg guards.
So, I emailed them and was amazed to get a reply in a day from David the manager. Since, that day I was personally given a lot of attention by David himself and always sent me prompt emails regarding my pads. At the end I placed my order and was amazed to receive the pads in 5 working days here in Calgary. I was so crazy about the pads that I wanted to know every single shipping detail. For this, there is an arrangement at Middlepegs website. I was able to track my order and boy was I going nuts.
As soon as I heard that door bell ring and saw the TNT truck parked outside I knew it was the time...the pads were here. And I couldn't believe the package...it was sooooooo light..i also had a masuri helmet in it but it was just sooooooooo light even with the helmet and all the wrapping. The packing was amazing there is no way, with that kind of packing that my pads or helmet or even a bat would get damaged.
I opened the package and was amazed to see the pads. Finally my wait was over and I am sure I will always remember Middlepeg and David especially for all his help and support.
Thanks a lot guys. You've been wonderful and I am so proud to deal with Middlepeg because they are people like me or anybody else… always involved in cricket and doing the best they can for mankind involved in cricket. From now there is no way I will be buying my equipment from anybody else… and tell you frankly.... I have a bat in mind as well for next season. and with the bat information I've got through middlepeg...ohhhh i can't wait to order my bat.
Cheers

Middlepeg is the great way to go for your
cricket shopping. Recently I bought Morrant Pads - I know Sachin wears
them and as soon as I found out about Middlepeg I called them in Australia
from USA and talked to David. He boosted my confidence about the Morrant
Ultralite Pads. I told him I wanted them quickly and from Australia to NJ
USA I got them in 3 days - I couldn't believe that. David promised the
date and I got them on time. He knows his customer needs very well. I am
for sure going to buy my cricket needs from them anytime in the future.

Just a short note to thank you for your
service and advise on the purchase of my sons cricket bat. It arrived at
my office the Friday before Christmas, and I was just as excited as my boy
was finding it under the tree. Knocking it in drove my wife nuts, but for
me, therapy for the soul. The big day came last Saturday, first game back
after Christmas and all his mates wanted to feel the hand crafted bat with
the big bow.It is no longer called a bat, it is "The
Bradbury".
Batting at first drop, the little bugger was almost willing his team mates to get out so he could try out "The Bradbury".
He ended the day with 72 n/o, his second best score,and just missed his first six. In his words "Its a mad bat with heaps of power", obviously a very happy customer. I am sure all his cricket mates are bugging their parents for a bat like "The Bradbury", and I have no hesitation recommending Middlepeg.
Best regards,

David, I hope this e-mail finds you well. Couple of months ago I bought a
Bradbury Majestic from you with my own specifications. I am impressed with
the shape and the lift of the bat. It became an extension of my body after
few practices. I have already played 2 league games and had the fortune of
scoring a 50. After I made my 50 few of the opponent players approached me
with questions about the bat. I would definitely recommend this bat to
anybody who wants to spend few extra bucks and more bangs for it. Also, I
would highly recommend to put extra extra attention in kno
Thanks

David, I owe you a very, very big thanks. I received my new helmet on
Thursday which took the 4-5 days to get to me just as you said it would.
The helmet is fantastic, incredibly light and as I found out on Saturday
the Titanium is as strong as they say! I opened the batting on Saturday in
a pre-season friendly. The second ball I faced was short enough for me to
go on the back foot and look to pull. I did just that but the ball climbed
very steeply and quickly, probably due to the early season track we were
on and for the first time in my cricketing career I was hit in the head
area. The Titanium grill took the full brunt of a new ball. Everything
stayed in place, the grill did its job and I didn't have to go to the
emergency room!!! If I hadn't received the helmet in the time for the
weekend I probably would have batted with out one, the outcome would have
been a bit different I'm sure.
Thanks again to Middlepeg for your expeditious shipping!!!
A very happy customer.

Hi Anna, Thanks for your quick response and
the clarification. The bat is for my boyfriend and I'm so excited for him
to see it. I'd like to also tell you how wonderful your guys have been.
Were it not for them I'm sure I would've opted not to get a bat, something
I know very little about. They were extremely helpful and made me feel
confident about my choice. I will refer your company to other girlfriends
and wives of cricketers in the US!

Hi all,
We arrived yesterday afternoon and our friends had kindly collected the shirt on Friday (as you had promised).
It looks GREAT!! Please give Shane Warne our very grateful thanks. Will have the camera ready tomorrow night as Bob's face will be a sight when he opens the parcel.
Have passed on your site address on to alot of our Kiwi friends and will be in touch again when we want to purchase any cricket memorabillia.
Thanks again for your wonderful and very successful efforts.
Kindest regards

Got the bat yesterday and you were right, it is a real beauty. I gave it a
bit of a knocking last night and couldn't resist having a tap with a ball
and it comes of the bat a treat. The weight of it and the pick up is spot
on. I had my mates clamouring just to feel it and at least two people
yesterday took your website address to place an order for a Bradbury
themselves merely on the basis of looking at, and holding, my new one!!
I wanted to check with you about knocking/running it in. I know you guys have oiled it and put the facing on it, but how much, if any, of a knock have you given it? I just want to know as I want to get it prepared just right, as it would be a shame to spoil such a magnificent piece of willow with under or over knocking.
Thanks again for all the care and attention you put into my order - much appreciated.
I'll definitely be back to order from you again in the future for all my own, and my team's, cricket needs.
Kind regards

I have found Middlepeg to be very knowledgeable about the cricket gear
they are selling and they understand what I need to maximize my game. I
like the fact that they carry top of the line cricket equipment, as I am
very particular about my cricket gear in particular my bats. I was
thoroughly pleased with my hand made Laver and Wood and I will surely be
ordering more gear in the future. Thanks Middlepeg

Hello guys,
Just wanted to share my cricket news. Been having a wonderful time practicing with the SCCA (Southern California Cricket Assoc.) guys here in Los Angeles. Been learning so much (including an understanding of just how much more I have to learn). Been happy to pick up some skills, with the hope I might get good enough to play in some 3rd division games next season.
Well, last Sunday I enjoyed a very unexpected opportunity.
I'd gone down to the cricket grounds to support my favorite 1st division team in their big match of the year, when the captain of a social league team playing at the opposite field came running over desperately looking for an eleventh man. I told him I had little to offer but enthusiasm, but that proved enough! Suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, I was in my very first cricket match!!!
We batted first in a 30 overs match. Being tenth in the line up I never dreamed I would come to bat. But suddenly we started losing wickets and with 26 overs down, yours truly took the strike. Imagine how I must have felt! First time actually standing at the crease. First bowl hit my foot (and I might have been called LBW --but the decision went my way). Next bowl I settled my mind and whack! Got a single. Then Alex (the other batsman and I formed a nice partnership--with me running like hell trying fairly successfully to turn most of his shots into doubles. Took the strike 3 more times and each time hit the first bowl for a single. So at the end of the 30 overs, I walked off the field with 4 runs (not out), with the biggest grin on my face you have ever seen.
I should also mention that on one of my runs a fielder attempting to throw me out got a little wild and struck me hard on the helmet with a violently thrown ball. A gasp could be heard all around when that ball crashed against my head. But despite the tremendous force of the blow, I barely felt a thing--I was amazed. The Masuri helmet more than paid for itself in its very first outing. Had I not been wearing a helmet, I'm sure I would have been carried of the field, or worse. As it was, all I experienced was a little "plinking" sound. The helmet-as you told me it would be-is brilliant. Thank you so much for convincing me this was THE ONE to own. Couldn't be more impressed with the protection, and the comfort of the Masuri.
I had noticed that many guys on that very hot day (97 f) were not wearing helmets while batting, and I could see why. I checked out some of the other helmets discovered they were heavy, unwieldy and undoubtedly uncomfortable to wear. The Masuri is so much lighter and better designed than the others that there is no reason NOT to wear it. Even in the brutal heat it was quite comfortable and cool.
Needless to say anytime I'm at the crease I will be wearing my Masuri helmet.
Thanks again with all the help putting my kit together.
Cheers,

Hi guys,
As I mentioned earlier heres my impression of the Morrant Ultralite pads. Well couple of weeks ago I spent some time with VVS Laxman when he was down here in Brisbane to play the matches . yup the man himself (he hails from my hometown and plays with my best mate back home in India). Anyway in the practice sessions I couldn't help but notice his pads (Morrant Ultralite pads). I had never seem them for real before so the ease with which Laxman was moving around in them got my attention and I couldn't believe how light they were. He was all in praise of the pads and mentioned the fact that he really enjoyed them. I decided if these pads were good enough for Tendulkar, VVS and Ganguly then they were good enough for me :)...I must admit after playing couple of games in them and few net sessions I have really started to like them. Its unreal how light they are and especially playing the long innings they don't tire your legs as much. Although they are pricey, considering they last for a long time I think I will enjoy them for a long time. So I recommend them very highly to anyone who is interested. I appreciate your co-operation in talking to me about the pads and the prompt delivery of the item. I look forward to doing further business with you and wish you all the luck... !
Thanks

This season i started using Bradbury cricket bats from Middlepeg Cricket
centre and have found them to be the amazing Cricket bats i have ever used
(and i have had plenty!!) David and his team go out of their way evert
time to make sure that my new Bradbury is as good as or better than the
last one. He always makes sure they are made to my exact specifications,
something which im VERY fussy about. No request when it comes to my bats
has ever been to much to ask for... he even had one made for me by Paul
Bradbury while he was still in the UK and had Paul bring it back with him.
I cant reccomend Middlepeg highly enough for any of your Cricket equipment
requirments. I cant ever see myself getting my bats from anywhere else,
the service is first class."

To Anna and the Middle Stump crew,
Got the awesome stick this morning which I cant believe as I only spoke with you guys yesterday. The courier dropped it off just now while I was on the PC. It looks great and has tempted me to think about playing again. Am sure my young lad will love it - he better love it as his mum has bought him a few pressies as well!!

The remaining scoreboards arrived this morning.
The large scoreboard was unpacked this morning and we are impressed. The numbers are large and easy to operate.
Les Burdett the Adelaide Oval, ground manager is going to use the large scoreboard this weekend at Adelaide Oval during the two Women's National League matches SA versus Queensland on Saturday and Sunday. Les is very impressed.
Thank you for your prompt attention to our request.

Having been looking for a new bat for a while, and seeing the same stuff
over and over in Adelaide's sports stores, I felt like going for something
a bit different, and having already bought other gear through Middlepeg I
thought I'd blow my Christmas allowance on the entry level Bradbury
Sovereign, which was on par with a lot of other bats for sale anyway. I
must say it was a bit of a leap of faith buying a bat without having
physically picked it up, but the guys at Middlepeg were very good in
answering all my questions regarding the weight of the bat and what I
could expect. The turnaround time from placing my order to having it
arrive at my office was about a week all up, which was about as good as
anyone could expect given that it was in the peak cricket-gear-buying
season.
The first thing I noticed about the bat was the fantastic build quality - stand it next to any mass-produced bat and the difference is huge. I was tempted to just sit it in the lounge room and keep it as an objet d'art, but the Mrs quickly informed me that this was not going to happen, so I went ahead and knocked it in (subsequently causing her to leave the house for a couple of days to escape the noise - that'll learn her). The second thing I noticed about the bat was the amount of interest it generated when I showed up at practice with it for the first time - there was much bat-tapping, grain counting and other general interest in something that was an obvious rarity in our grade of cricket. But the most impressive thing to date about the bat is the performance out in the middle. Being a pretty ordinary batsman means you get to test out just about every off-centre spot on a bat, and in my first innings using the new toy it was clear that the old hand-jarring I was accustomed to with my old faithful was seriously reduced, even off mis-hit shots high on the splice or off the toe. The few that I did get out of the middle went at least as well as any other bat I've used, but it really is the off-centre ones that were the nicest surprise. The pick up on the bat is also extremely light - the Bradbury is between 1 and 2 ounces heavier than my previous bat but feels significantly lighter to use, and really is a pleasure to bat with.
In short, top bat, top service, and certainly something that stands out in a crowd as being a bit different.
Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Hi David
I just wanted to say thankyou for all your help and guidance. The Laver and Wood Private Bin is just outstanding ,and without a doubt the BEST piece of willow I have ever held, James Laver like you, know exactly what he is taking about!
Also the Morrant Ultralite Pads are amazing to say the least! Everything you said and wrote about them are absolutely correct!
And now to your service (my favourite part!)....... You are the most customer focused individual I have ever met. I have been in the service industry for going on 21 years and to say your service is outstanding is an absolute understatement. I put it down to your sincere love of all things cricket.
Thanks again David for all your advice, and believe me I will be recommending you to anyone willing to listen!
Kind Regards
