Knocking and preparing your Cricket bat is vital to maximize the performance of your bat and most importantly to make it stronger before playing. A good seasoned bat not only gives the best shots but also protects the bat from unnatural hits.

All Cricket bats will sustain wear and tear during use, this is perfectly natural. Normal wear and tear expected from a cricket bat blade is surface cracking to the face and edges and discoloration of the blade, and in these cases the performance of the bat won't be affected.
