Advantages: Value for money Disadvantages: Not the best quality
I recommended this bat to a brother of mine, a beginner, with not much experience of the game.
I recommened this bat because of its value for money, as a junior or beginner, you don't want to be paying too much money for a bat, as it is all about fun, and not being too serious.
As for the bat itself, you get what you pay for, you know when you pay around £20 your not going to get the best bat ever, but for a junior or beginner to the game it would be excellent due to its durability and weight.
The bat my brother bought still exists now, well worn but he still uses it to this day, around a year or two ago when he bought it, he likes it and hes picky!
In review i recommend this bat to all it fits, and i hope this has helped you all in the search of a new cricket bat.

A few years back, Woodworm were THE cricket supplier. Providing gear to the likes of Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, their stuff was in demand from every youngster taking up the game.
However, it soon became clear that the company may have bitten off a little more than they could chew with their costly sponsorships outstripping profits. They went under and the brand name has now resurfaced under the ownership of online sports equipment supplier, the Sports HQ. (www.thesportshq.com)
As a result, it is now possible to pick up a number of bats at very reasonable prices. I plumped for the Gold (they have Bronze, Silver and Gold available, which vary in line with the grade of willow used to make the bat, with Gold being Grade 1 English Willow) Mega Bite, which used to be Freddie Flintoff's choice of bat.

Advantages: Best cricket game at the moment, play world cup, test and one dayers, all teams Disadvantages: Poor fielding, test match unrealistic
This is my second cricket game that I have ever owned for console - the first was the original Brian Lara Cricket Game. I haven't played on any of the other previous BLC games before this. I also chose to get this instead of Cricket 2007 (EA Sports) after reading reviews and playing both games at friends houses.
The game is a good, realistic(ish), cricket game that is the best out there at the moment.
Starting with the positives. I like the bowling and batting. They are easy to pick up (perhaps too easy - see later). With the analog stick you can place shots to perfection. Also batting is all about the timing - too early or late and the shot is not good. Bowling can be varied with special deliveries (although it can be hard to actually get this to work sometimes). The variation on ball speed is good as well.
There are plenty ...
