Cricket bats are made up of wood. Two major types of wood – Kashmir and English Willow. English Willow is grown in India and Pakistan while English willow is grown in England. One major difference is English Willow tends to be in white color and has well defined grains while Kashmir is in red/brown color and its grains are not uniform or straight. Another difference between both of them is English Willow bats are light in weight whereas Kashmir willow bats are heavy. Based on performance English willows are preferred by professionals while Kashmir Willow bats are perfect for beginners.
If you like to play with a soft cricket ball then Kashmir willow bat would be fine. But players who prefer hard ball, English willow is recommended. It is important to note that English Willow bats needs regular oiling before they can be played with a hard ball. If oiling is not done properly it can have a detrimental effect on the performance and life of your bat.
It is one of the immense sights in cricket and one that has almost disappeared with the requirements modern schedule and batsman- friendly legislation place on the bowlers – the genuinely fast man in full flow.
When Shaun Tait’s fifth ball to Craig Kieswetter recorded at 100.1mph in the final Nat West one day international, the game was taken into account. According to the speed recordings, the white cricket ball seemed to move more quickly than the red one, but there is no doubt that on Saturday Shaun bowled one of the quickest spells ever seen at Lord’s. Even the England fans must have been moved by the breathtaking sight.
Tait was called up by the Aussies after the second game in which Nathan Hauritz was injured. The Nat West series then took a turn in favour of the Australians. Whether Tait can repeat the trick in the Ashes this winter remains a doubt. Since he hasn’t been playing test cricket for a long time now, his body cannot stand up to longer cricket.
