Graphite no more
Ricky Ponting's graphite bat has been banned. Ponting is among many who use Kookaburra 's graphite-reinforced willow. Cricinfo has more:
But Brett Elliott, Kookaburra's MD, said that the company was "extremely disappointed by the MCC's opinion and strongly disagree that our graphite covered cricket bats do not comply with Law 6." He continued: "It is the opinion of three leading independent experts that the bats in question do not contravene the laws of the game. Furthermore, since the launch of our graphite covered bats in December 2004, numerous international players have used the bat without issue. For example, Ricky Ponting has used the bat in 53 ODI and Test matches without complaint from opposition players or umpires.
