How to “Knock – in” a cricket bat. Presented by Stuart Kransbueler, Head bat maker of Gray – Nicholls Australia.
I found this video when I was searching You tube for good vids on how to play cricket.
Cricket bats are so expensive these days,it pays to look after them, and knocking in the bat is the best way to make sure you dont wreck your bat first time out. Mind you I have a Gray Nicholls, and even though I spent hours knocking it in with a wooden mallet, it still split the first time I used it against a “proper” bowler The shop I bought it from, Talent Cricket were great though, they repaired it and it is now good as new.
Anyway, take a look at the video..
