Even if they use the same model/brand they promote, they will get it custom made to suit their style of play. The chances of you picking up a bat straight off the shelf with the same specs as your international heroes are very slim indeed.

90% of the pros bats are made in INDIA by craftsmen there, for their specific requirements but there are batmakers around who work on their bats (not make them) just fine tuning.

I think maybe 90% may be conservative Mr Hembrow. India produce the best quality cricket equipment bar none. And for all those guys who think there big name brand bats are made here or in UK think again.

Lots of the Indian players use SS bats, look for the TON on the side of their bats. Some also use SG or BDM, both have markings on the side of their bats.

Englands players use mixtures of brands, some made in England some elsewhere. Same goes for Australians, bear in mind Kookaburras are produced by SG so the bat you see Ponting using is quite often one of those.

Out of the Uk - Warsop are used to make custom bats and players apply stickers of sponsors.

yep thats right but there is no way they can produce the amount of bats they need by hand just takes to long , so what they do is make (say) 5 and send them to india and get them reprduced coz they have thousands of bat makers
