Would all you female cricketers be interested in a bat range specifically for you? Obviously custom made weight etc but things like shorter blade, thinner handle? Would different sticker designs be popular or just seen as patronising if they were pink for example!?
Any opinions? |

kookaburra have already done this, The womens team at my club recieved bats, pads and gloves all made especially for women! everything was pink! Its a deal with clubs and the ECB so souldnt be to surprised if they havent seen it all already.
BTW its a good market to hit as there are not many competetors |

yorkie (i always like the blue yorkie, my favourite)
Anyways bak to topic, are u saying that there is NOTHING in terms of cricket equipment that you as a female player, want female-ised?
maybe the ball, pink ball maybe? pink stumps would look cool init?
Maybe women need a different kinda of BOX, but i think the rest of the range is suited to both men and women? u agree?
a bat with a mirror on the back, so u can check makeup?
silly topic, but hope u dont take offence.. its quite humourous |

Sameer, that's a dumbass post.
I would have thought thinner handles would make sense for women, due to smaller hands, but other than that I would have though everything would be the same. Maybe a different size/shape chest pad?
I think any other attempt to female-ize cricket gear would just be a marketing ploy |

You're a tit, maybe you should have a dictionary on the back of your bat, maybe then you could spell eh ? |

Trying to be funny can still be offensive and sexist
I bet there are lots of 'jokes' I could tell that would be considered racist or homophobic |
