Another testament to game’s continued leaning towards batsmen. But, I’m really curious to see what players can do with this pint sized willow.

A friend of mine took the plunge and bought one. What I said above I take back, quite brilliant. Effortless sixes, fours.

I understand that Armine Khan and MCF are the inventors of this bat

I can’t wait to try the one I (most likely) will own in the next few weeks!!! Sounds like the kinda bat I need for my style.

thiz will bring a massive and a great revolution coz in physics as we know that torque depends on force arm longer the force arm greater wil be the torque so on thiz bat i think the same condition haz applied…nd followed by tom’z comment

Hi Tom

You make some interesting points. Have you used the new bat?

Am I the only one who doesn’t see how this is revolutionary, it’s essentially a Jnr bat with a long handle.

I can see the quicker swing speed at the bottom being a plus point, however you can achieve this with a regular bat by leaving the cleft thicker there. With this Mongoose bat you also lose the counterbalance that the shoulders and handle provides on a regular bat, therefore it will pick up heavier possibly negating this swing speed.

Also reading through the PDF’s on the Mongoose site there’s some vital information missing, were both bats knocked in for example. Also the Mongoose bat is heavier than the Woodworm it was tested against, a heavier bat means you’ll have a larger centre of restitution so the Mongoose is bound to perform better.

Cameron,

The bat is still the same length as a traditional short handle cricket bat, just with more handle and less blade, so yorkers won’t be a problem!

It’s going to be hard to hit a yorker with this bat
