It depends what kind of player you are and what kind of wickets you're playing on. The important thing to consider first is weight, then worry about what make you want. Some players like big heavy bats (Tendulkar, Clive Lloyd...) and some go for very light ones (Andrew Flintoff) so it's all down to preference. Lighter bats are often used on faster, more bouncy wickets as you have less time to react or change your shot and heavier ones often work best on slower subcontinental wickets. The odd thing is, some heavy bats can appear to be light if they have a good "pick up". Pick up is basically how easily you can lift the bat up into the backlift and it all depends how well balanced / well made the bat is. If you want a relatively chunky bat with a good pick up and awesome middle, get a kookaburra big kahuna or a Newbury (they can break easily though). For a lighter one I would go for a Puma or a Slazenger V600

In the case of the England cricket team one about 3 foot wide! Otherwise Gunn and Moore or Stuart Surridge.

I would suggest an Australian bat. The ones the English players use are not much good as the ball keeps hitting the wickets and it is not supposed to.

many of the bats you see pro's using aren't actually made by the company on the logo - these days they are often hand-made by the batsman's favourtite maker and then 'sponsorship' stickers are put on them.
Check out cjicricket.com - I use them and they're very cheap and very good quality.
