The Mongoose
2009 saw the first major redesign of the cricket bat since the eighteenth century. The Mongoose has a blade that is thirty-three per cent shorter than the standard bat, with the longer handle creating more leverage and enabling the bat to go through the line of the ball more quickly, generating greater hitting power. It has already been used by Stuart Law in English domestic cricket and has been cleared by the MCC. The Mongoose does have its disadvantages, being ill suited for defence, particularly against short-pitched bowling, but this is unlikely to be an issue in limited overs cricket. Unlike the Dilscoop, this innovation is unquestionably bad for the game, lending batsmen an advantage that bowlers will be unable to counter, given that they are strictly forbidden from altering the condition of the ball.
