Hello,
This question may have been asked many times but I really do with some sort of help.
I started playing local club cricket after a break of atleast 12 years - I was bit financially restrained so didn't get the chance to fork out on expansive bat so bought cheap Slazenger from Sports Direct for a £10err please don't laugh lol, at the time I wasn't sure if I will be playing for more than a restricted season - even with that bat I was able to score some runs but my God it was hard I think I only scored couple of boundaries in 8 matches I played but just mostly drives through cover, mid wicket, back foot late cuts etc and now I really want to get in the game and started looking at budget bats around £100 as I am not a slogger at all and prefer play drives I was thinking of getting Newbery Excalibur Oz 2.11 - 2.12 as it's only £99 on website - or some once can suggest anything better for that price ? or anyone have experience of Newbery Phantom, Excalibur or N Series bats ?? I don't have preference really but do like Newbery.
PS: I bought Kahuna 7.0 in Harrow but I think its too lite weight - I would rather buy SH as I am 5.9' - Though I only bought Kahuna Junior as I been told that it's a good bat and same style senior bat is about £250.
Regards,
Sam
