Kookaburra: Set The Record Straight

     We believe that our bats are at the forefront of technology in the industry and can confirm that the blade is made from wood (English and Kashmir willow) and is not Kookaburra has always enjoyed a very good working relationship with the ICC and MCC and we look forward to working with them in the future for the benefit of cricket, said Mr Elliot.

       “When Kookaburra first developed its reinforced bats, we proactively approached both the ICC and the MCC on 1 September 2004 to show them the design to ensure that it complied with cricket’s laws 6.1 and 6.2 which define the specification of a cricket bat.”

 

      “We firmly believe that all Kookaburra bats fully comply with the current laws of the game, the spirit of cricket and the conditions of cricket equipment as set out by the MCC and ICC respectively.”

 

         “Our carbon graphite woven fabric as found on the back of the Kahuna range of bats is designed to strengthen and protect the blade.  This is designed to prolong the life of a cricket bat, which we believe is beneficial for consumers and for cricket in general.”

Reinforced Bats steal the headlines

      The success of the new Kookaburra reinforced bat has generated a huge amount of attention over recent months.

       Questions have been raised over the power performance of this bat  particularly as Ricky Ponting  has averaged  around 100 in Test Cricket since  he started using the new bat.  Our aim has always been to ensure that the performance of our bats gives players an edge whilst complying strictly with the Laws of cricket.
