CA Test 8000 vs GN Oblivion 5 Star

[FK96]

Hi my name is Farhan. I was looking to buy a new cricket bat and I've narrowed my options down to two bats, the ca test 8000 or the gray nicolls oblivion 5 star. I would appreciate your opinion on which cricket bat is better. Also I was just wondering what is the difference between a Ca Test bat and a Ca plus bat. Also I would be grateful if anyone has any pictures of the bats. Thank you.

Thank you. I thought the ca test 8000 was a grade 1 willow and the th oblivion 5 star was grade 2. Could you please give me your opinion, thank you.

There is no difference between the Test & Plus series.

The Test is made for the UK market,as far as I know.

on what pitches do u play ur cricket? if u play in england, i'd say go for oblivion, it would suit british fashioned cricket there, but if you are in asia, go for the ca, both are very fine bats!

[FK96]

Ye I play in England. So the oblivion is probably the best option to go for. Which bat do you think will last longer because I heard Asian bats break easily. Cheers for your help.

yes asian bats are pressed softly for getting lighter weight and a better ping, thus they break easily as compared to english bats, they won't break easily!
