Does Sachin Tendulkar's bat fit Marylebone Cricket Club regulations?
According to cricket-supply guru, Harry Solomons, who owns Kingsgrove Sports Centre, which once employed the Waugh brothers, 'Sachin's bats look wide, but they are regulation width. It's the thick edges that make it look bigger.
The MCC's Laws of Cricket state:
(a) The overall length of the bat, when the lower portion of the handle is inserted, shall not be more than 38in/96.5cm;
(b) The width of the bat shall not exceed 4.25in/10.8cm at its widest part and
(c) Permitted coverings, repair material and toe guards, not exceeding their specified thicknesses, may be additional to the dimensions above.
