gimmick. I ve seen it in use and yet to be convinced its anything better than a normal bat. I reckon it will only prove itself if Hayden gets more runs this IPL than last and I reckon he won t as the changing of bat effects rythm waste of time.

@lightningleaf23 I've tryed this bat and my opinion is that it does give you more bat speed...... its just its almst impossible to defend with!

This can be best used when a batsmen is set and knows how the pitch is behaving since you cant negotiate a bouncer with it.

[xyran]

That's the reason he did not use it before. He was out before he could get settled.

"Negotiate a bouncer" - You can always negociate a bouncer, surely you mean the slightly back of a length ball.

Hmm seems like he's using it to smash the Delhi Daredevils around at this very minute...
