Erm... who are you talking to? I pay no attention to my image in any aspect at all!

It's probably aimed at me tbh. I like an aesthetically pleasing bat personally, but if it's god awful there's no point to having it. For me, the Woodworm bats pick-up beautifully and suit my game as I enjoy having a nice light feeling bat and the Woodworm does the job. I've seen the bat I want in a shop, the Gold Hard Drive and I love it, it feels perfectly weighted and has thick old edges, lovely bat. So I do look at the appearance but at the end of the day performance is what is most important.

the best way to pick a bat imo is to go to a indoor net centre (preferably a notable one), and have a training session there, ask them to use some of the bats they have on a bowling machine, try the different brands and weights and see what suits you the best, and at the end of the day, anyone who cares about stickers wont go a long way in cricket

Lol a brand doesnt make a bat, anyone who follows cricket knows that, you could have the most dog ugly cricket bat with lines going every which way and it could be an ice cold killer...
