As with all natural products, blemishes and imperfections are not only normal, they are expected. This is certainly the case with wood, and in particular English willow. Like a fingerprint, no two clefts of willow are the same. That is the beauty of a cricket bat. Each one unique, with its own individual characteristics, that in the hands of the right person is something to be savoured and cherished. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You can be rest assured that any bat that bears the famous Millichamp and Hall name, has met our exacting standards in regards to craftsmanship, balance, pick-up, and most importantly, playing qualities.
