Don't trust ebay, too many fakes on there. Find a trusted retailer http://www.worldcricketstore.com/acatalog/cricket_bats.html

i seen this website, the bats there are damnnnnnn expensive and they were asking for around 30 pounds for shiping and i dont know what other costs! may be someone in UK or India, who has experience in buying bats, knows from where i can buy a good bat!

Get a bad from India, best place. If you aren't going, ask someone to get one for you, someone who plays cricket though

Get a bad from India' date=' best place. If you aren't going, ask someone to get one for you, someone who plays cricket though[/quote'] from where in India? like which company or factory?

http://www.owzat-cricket.co.uk/ This is the best value site, shipping to europe in only around £20 which for a cricket bat is cant be too much.

Thny seran but again the bats on the site are damnnn expensive!!

The GM Catalyst bats are fantastic value for money. They are available right from Rs. 4500 in India. I can tell you that there is no bat in that price range which is as sweet and as adaptable. I dont know how you would get them in the US though. Being in Australia there are bound to be local bat stores. Why dont you check locally to see what the prices are?

You have to realise Cricket bats are very expensive, the RRP which is shown on the site is generally how much they cost in shops in England so getting it off the web works out cheaper.

He is in Austria, I doubt there are too many cricket stores there.

a good quality bat usually costs around $200 US from my exp cheap ones dont last long..

Including shipping it cost me 175$ to get Kukaboora.

Probably Gray Nicholls or something else. Here are a lot of options: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=cricket+bat&_sacat=See-All-Categories
