MONGOOSE MMI3 CRICKET BAT for Twenty 20 cricket

What is Mongoose Bat?   THE MONGOOSE MMI3 CRICKET BAT is a cricket bat specifically designed for Twenty 20 cricket and is the first major redesign for over 200 years. The design is unusual in that the blade is 33% shorter than a conventional bat and the handle is 43% longer. The manufacturer claims that this provides 20% more power and 15% more bat speed and gives the batsman an advantage.     This kind of a bat is especially useful and lighter than the traditional cricket bat. Its blade is 33 per cent shorter than a conventional bat and the handle is 43 per cent longer. The decreased length of the blade helps to reduce the bat's weight while the long handle allows optimum reach to the batsman. The lightness of the bat helps in increasing the bat speed and allows the batsmen to hit the ball harder while batting. The change in the length of the blade does not affect the performance of the batsman in any way since it is the middle of the bat(the part which is located on the backside of the thick scoop of the bat)that is required for hitting the ball. On 11 March 2010, Mongoose launched its range in India with the announcement of MATTHEW HAYDEN as an ambassador.             Hayden debuts the Mongoose Bat in Chennai Superkings match against the Delhi Daredevils on March 19th 2010.He scored 93 runs out of 43 balls ( 9 fours & 7 Sixes).

The manufacturer claims that this provides 20% more power and 15% more bat speed and gives the batsman an advantage. Fernandez said the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) had declared the bat legal and permitted its use in India and worldwide. The handle of the Mongoose bat is 43 per cent longer and the blade 33 per cent shorter than the conventional bat. "Since there is no splice, the sweet spot is increased by 120 per cent," he said. For the moment, 100 bats in two categories will be launched in India and all of them would be signed by Hayden, according to Fernandez. They are priced at between Rs. 17,000 and Rs. 23,000. Hayden said the bat has good balance besides tremendous bat speed. "Twenty20 is about scoring runs quickly. I am sure the Mongoose bat is ideal for this format. "I am very excited by the potential of this bat and I feel just like Twenty20, it will also be accepted," Hayden said while asserting the small size of the bat would not be a handicap in playing short-pitched balls or bouncers. Fernandez hoped some of the top Indian players would also endorse his product. "But Indian cricketers are far too expensive, but provide a lot of value. I would love to have somebody like Sachin Tendulkar or Virender Sehwag use the Mongoose bat," he said. This kind of a bat is especially useful and lighter than the traditional cricket bat.
