Twenty20 cricket has distilled cricket down to a new essence, with a simple tactic: attack the ball at all costs to score as many runs as quickly as possible. The Mongoose cricket bat is an attacking response to the way Twenty20 is played and is as startling an innovation as Twenty20 cricket itself. The Mongoose cricket bat hits harder than conventional cricket bats. It combines bat-speed and a unique weight distribution to increase the collision between cricket bat and ball.
