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.
Really nice bit of kit.
The pads fit well and don't move about.
The gloves are quite snug in my fat hands but offer enough protection that I don't need to use inners.
Great stuff!
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 VCC keep on delivering- another top product at a great price
Fantastic looking bat. My son is very happy. Great pick up and ball flys off the middle.
Customer service was exceptional. This is how you run a business.
Very nice piece of kit. I am able to fit pads, helmet, shoes, gloves, cricket balls, etc into the main compartment. The outside pouch is generous and can hold a scorebook, valuables and lunch. The extra bat sleeve can hoold a water bottle. The bottom compaetment does get squished and become unusable if the main compartment is stuffed full, but I dont mind that given the space everywhere. The shoulder straps are a bit basic, but comfortable to use. Overall quite happy with the purchase.
Great price, impressive stuff, replaced my 20 year old pads, they are lighter with better protection.
A great 1st bat for the price. 10year olds will soon need a replacement as they grow so it’s enough to pay
This is really good kit.
The gloves have plenty of padding.
I've been using them without inners and haven't broken anything yet!
Highly recommended.
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.
Bought this for my son after he grew out of his expensive brand bat. He plays academy and pathway level cricket and we are very surprised how good quality the bat is.
The sizing is spot on, grade of willow is top level and the weighting is very neutral.
Will definitely be buying again once he grows out of this size.
P.s. absolute bonus that the bat is knocked in as well saving a lot of work!!
The bat is really good and loved the kit as well
I just scored my top score with the new bat
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 😊🙏🏾.
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
