MRF DOESNT make its own bats. According to sachin his MRF is actually made by slazenger. he says so in one of his books? B) . i also doubt that they would make their own bats because it is predominantly a rubber factory and so cricket is a total different area so i thnk its just sponsership rather than manufacturing their own products. their other equip (gloves n pads etc...) i also doubt r made by themselves.

they r selling mrf bats

actually, watching a documentary on The Cricket Show it said that Sachin's Bat is made at Beat All Sports (BAS) at a small town in India. But Waugh's and Lara's bats are made by MRF

I watched a small little clip on the cricket show as well, and it showed where they made all the bats, and they wre talking to the owner, and he sayed that they made bats for heapsa companies, and they make Sachin's bat specialy

B) sachin's bat is different ,and not made by mrf but they own it ,that the reason they r selling bats on the internet ,

Do other companies make bats, coz on the clip i watches the owner said some of the bats they were carving were getting sent to Kookaburra and other companies

if your bat says "Made in India using English/Kashmir Willow" than it is from that town

I reckon MRF make the grips at the most. The bats are made by different companies like BAS.

Most young players these days follow great bats like, Steve Waugh, Tendulkar and Lara.

So they buy these bats and use them for matches. They actually look quite good.

Bat choice is often influenced by bat contracts. I agree.

Every1 that i know that likes cricket loves MRF's. Also dean_mag, they would make the stickers for the bats as well
