We've taken a careful look at our massive selection of cricket bats from the season and compiled our list of the most exceptional bats of the year. If you're in the market for a new cricket bat, don't overlook these ten!
As always, we base this list on several factors, including performance, ping, balance, pickup, value for money, and quality of the willow. It doesn't necessarily mean that these are the best bats ever made or that one is better than the other, but that we feel like these bats are exceptional for the above reasons.
