Village Cricket Bat

I’m very new to cricket, having only ever played a couple of Sunday games with a mate. Always enjoyed watching cricket and having always played rugby I thought why not now.

Joined a local side, played a few games & decided maybe I should invest for the long haul. Being brand new to cricket & not that good (I doubt I’ll ever be) didn’t want to spend a fortune.

My algorithm very kindly threw the lads at village cricket co. A cricket bat at a reasonable price that looks quality and in person looks/feels good. The fact I could pay in installments was also very welcome.

Yesterday the bat made its debut & I scored 3, no not the half centuries you might see the seasoned cricketers post about on the reviews. However the bat felt good, most amount of balls I’ve faced, felt confident and scored some runs.

Making me one happy newbie cricketer.

Fantastic bat, even more so for the price as i got one when it was reduced. Used it for the first time a couple of weekends ago and hit 60 not out, including 8 boundaries. The low middle is nothing but brilliant, really suits the type of wickets we play on in this country. Was so impressed with the bat, I bought the gloves and pads too.

Very nice, great sound when connecting with the ball. Thou not much chance to bat with it. But what I have used very nice.

As a 65-year-old, I have just returned to Village Cricket after a 30-year hiatus from cricket. The Capel (Surrey) 3rd team were short of numbers, and to save games being cancelled, I came from umpiring to playing. I needed a new bat and came across you; at my age it had to be long handled and reasonably priced. On my 2nd outing with my new bat, going in at #6 myself and #5, 4 for not many we then set up an 80+ partnership of 22 overs. I was like a kid in Toy Shop, the bat was fantastic, well knocked in, a great weight, and more importantly middle, and I ended up scoring 46 not out. Whilst fielding, at one stage on the off side whilst fielding was a 13 / 15 and two 17-year-olds, together with me, fielding to a 17-year-old bowler, absolutely fantastic. Thank you for giving me one of the highlights of my summer.... so far.

For the money, it's an excellent bat. Really well balanced, lovely low middle.. loads of wood still in the bathroom though get full value for your shots. Would definitely recommend

Managed 44 yesterday on a first outing with the new bat including x7 fours and a six. Plenty of interest from the lads on both teams who saw and heard a great ping when managing to find the middle. Good balance and a great pick-up - an absolute bargain for the money.

Amazing bat with good pick up and ping....❤️

I have used my VC bat for two seasons now and let me tell you, it can hit boundaries with ease. The weight is perfect for me and allows me to play classic or big (big is my style) shots.
I am looking forward to a 3rd season hopefully on the runs. Well done VC on a great product.

Great quality. Worth buying.

Amazing nothing else to say really

The bat is top quality, I love the pickup and general feel and the middle is great.

I had a couple small issues with my bat as a one off but the team showed unbelievable customer service to rectify it quickly and I can’t wait to use this bat for many games to come.

Great quality , good feel great bat

So far it’s a good bat only bin in the nets
It feels ok and got a good center spot
Nobody got me out yet fingers crossed
When I play it’s a run machine

The bat is really good and loved the kit as well

I just scored my top score with the new bat

Very good bat. Bought unseen and it's done me wonders!

For the grains and ping, you would usually be paying over the odds. I've hit my career highest runs with it and finally feel like I can fulfill my potential as a batsman.

Thank you guys, amazing job 😊🙏🏾.

First outing last night and 32 scored - not bad for me! I struggled a bit with timing on a very bouncy, new astro and a lower middle than I am used to. But the ball travelled pretty well even when I missed the middle. Great for driving. A really honest and well-performing bat at a great price. We are going to get on well, I reckon! Company have been great to deal with too! Thanks Freddie.

Don't know whether it's the placebo effect, but had my best innings the first time I used it. Onwards and upwards, hopefully!

Great bat. Brilliant pick up and looks the business.

Very light bat and good Quality

Used it in 2 games so far and scored 52 and 14*. It’s got a great middle and had a few comments already. Pads and gloves are comfiest I’ve ever owned. Would highly recommend

All looks great haven’t had a net yet with the bat but looks great and such a nice weight and pick up . As good as my£600 uzi I used to play with.

No complaints, seems to go well in the nets, hoping it will see some use on the wicket and runs galore!

Good bit of kit

I love my new bat! Main issue is I need to stop my kids from borrowing it!

Really good bat when middle is found scored 58 second inns using it!!!!

Great value for money. Great pick up. Now it's up to me to score some runs!

All in all, a good bat and exceptional value for money. It’s just a shame the same can’t be said of its ageing owner’s batting skills.
