beast of a bat

Advantages: a really nice middle
Disadvantages: Kashmir Willow

...LOOKS This Bat in my view is one of the best looking bats around and has not got to much pictures on the bat like the Kookaburra angry beast. I think the blue and red go very well together and really look good. Even the grip fits in with the style having blue slashes on it done by "the beast". The beast itself is not overdone but it still noticeable from a distance. I think the fact that the wood is unbleached giving it a more white effect looks better for it's style than a darker wood. I love the looks because you can really show the bat off and not worry about being seen bating with it. POWER The middle on this bat is awesome you can hit a cricket ball miles and you really know when you have caught it right. As for the bat itself it is very forgiving of bad shots and has a lot of power. The bat has great power considering it is...

Review of kookabura little beast cricket bat

kookaburra produces a little beast

Advantages: great look, powerful bat
Disadvantages: low grade of williow

...today i will be reviewing the kookaburra little beast cricket bat looks when you look at this bat you could compare it to any bat on the market and it would beat them all it is really a stunning design power the middle on this bat is slightly lower then one of the adverage bat but in some ways that can help because it allows the ball to be hit ain the air a lot easier profile the profile of the bat is bowed meaning it has a slight curve in it , a bat being bowed means that it generates better power , but with generating better power it reduces the bat speed. the price in my eyes this bat is way under priced it retails at around £30-£40 the durability factor the durability factor is a big one because oviously if the bat is cheap then it is not going to be made from the highest graade of willow...

Good Woodworm Cricket Bat for a Junior/Beginner

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. Regards, mrcricket....

Review of Woodworm Junior Bronze Mega Bite Cricket Bat

The Beast: Excellent choice.

Advantages: Long lasting, light, kookaburra, kashmir willow
Disadvantages: hasnt got a big middle.

...the nets. i play in my clubs 'a' team, so its not like the bowlers we play are all terrible. Saying this, my bat did brake and a bit chipped off. I have heard that kookaburra have an excellent repair service, but i did'nt use it because i needed a new bat anyway. If you are looking for a new bat, i would recommend this bat to anyone. This bat is perfect for anyone, be it a pro or its your very first season. So, it really lives up to its name. it really is A BEAST! Sam1060...

Review of kookabura little beast cricket bat

Not impressed

Advantages: Looks great
Disadvantages: Too much to mention

...I bought my little beast cricket bat about six months back from a local cricket retailer and I was very disappointed with the result. I had heard great things about this bat but it didn't live up to my expectation. **First Impression** To be honest, my first impressions of the bat were very positive, just based on purely looking at the willow and feeling it. The bat had 9 ruler straight grains (exactly what I had been looking for), the bat had a strip of heartwood down the side, which I initially wasn't a fan of when it first came out, but gradually it grew on me, so by the time I bought the bat, this didn't worry me/ **Preparing the bat** I knocked the bat in for approximately 7-8 hours and it was doing this process that I started to appreciate that that the bat may not be quite what I was looking for. the middle sounded as...

Sweet Sixes Taste Delicious,Funny How Far They Fly with CA Power!

Advantages: Good weight, durable, Higher middle, good value
Disadvantages: protective cover can crack on the bat edges

...break over time at the edges so it may have to be secured by a few layers of cricket bat tape. A standard toe cover can also be used to add extra protection. Comfort /Style The bat has a relatively slim handle, which may not be ideal for everyone. If this is the case you may have to double up and add another grip. The original grip is of a very high quality and lasts a very long time and is fixed very well to the handle. The color scheme of the bat allows for a wide variety of replacement grips as there are a few very compatible designs which seem as though they are the original. The bat stickers are also very well designed and the bat is easy on the eye, it is aesthetically pleasing. But the Power label on the front face is the main course. The word power can have a psychological affect on the opposition especially if you are...

Review of CA Power Cricket Bat

Flick Cricket Game

Advantages: An iPhone cricket game...
Disadvantages: ...very basic

...You may have noticed I've written the odd review or two about iPhone application games in recent weeks...and you'd be right. So here's another one - Flick Cricket. There's a game doing the rounds on the internet called Stick Cricket which is extremely addictive and enjoyable...unfortunately the Flick version is completely different, and not quite up to the same standard; but then again this application is free for all you good, good iPhone users. The game is based on a six-over match, where the user always bats first and then attempts to defend the total as the 'computer' chases it down. On the main menu there are a couple of options - Quick Facebook Game, New Normal Game, Continue Game and Connect with Facebook. Now, I've not delved into the world of the Facebook options, but I believe it allows you to upload photos for players...

Review of Flick Cricket (iPhone)

Power and quality for a decent price

Advantages: Good for power hitting, value for money
Disadvantages: Not so good for 'touch' players

...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. This bat comes...

An Erotic Reworking of Beauty and The Beast

Advantages: Some funny moments
Disadvantages: I did feel a bit sick

...Controversially banned for 25 years when it was first released in 1975 The Beast is an erotic reworking of the Beauty and The Beast tale, released in November 2001 in a full uncut and subtitled version of the French original. My overall opinion: messy, and curious, and well strange, onto the review: The film opens with a rather bizarre, extraordinary close-up and intimate scene of two horses having sex, in the courtyard of a very large chateau looked on and assisted by a number of men, one of whom is Mathurin, the son of the brother of the Duke De Comte (forgive me if this is incorrect - but the familial relationships in the film weren't that clear) In the chateau there are two rather bitchy old men, the Duke and his brother (Mathurin's father) who are trying to contact the Cardinal in Rome (who is the Duke's brother) to come...

Review of The Beast (DVD)

Bat Out Of Hell - Truly Amazing!

Advantages: Just a fantastic rock album!
Disadvantages: None!

...Bat Out Of Hell is an album, which was released by Meat Loaf in October 1977. The album contains 7 songs and is 46:33 long. The songs were produced and written by Jim Steinman and Todd Rundgren. It is the the third best-selling album worldwide - which gives you an idea of just how fantastic it truly is! 1. Bat Out Of Hell (9:48) 2. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (5:04) 3. Heaven Can't Wait (4:38) 4. All Revved Up With No Place To Go (4:19) 5. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (5:23) 6. Paradise By The Dashboard Light (8:28) 7. For Crying Out Loud (5:45) I'd heard my brother and dad saying how good Meat Loaf was, but as i didn't really like alot of the music that they do, i thought he would just be another one of these people who scream songs and you can't tell a word that they are saying. Upon listening to the 'Bat Out...
