Mongoose (cricket bat)

The Mongoose MMi3 is a cricket bat specifically designed for Twenty20 cricket.[1] The design is unusual in that the blade is 33% shorter than a conventional bat and the handle is 43% longer.[2]

On 11 March 2010, Mongoose launched its range in India with the announcement of Matthew Hayden as the brand ambassador.[3] Stuart Law, the former Australian Test player , called it "a half-brick on a stick".[4] The bat was used by Matthew Hayden in the 2010 version of the IPL. Hayden scored 94 from only 43 balls for the Chennai Super Kings against the Delhi Daredevils, included seven sixes.

Gareth Andrew, the Worcestershire allrounder, scored the maiden 100 with an MMi3 in professional cricket, when he hit 100 off 58 balls at the Oval in 2010 against Surrey.

The Marylebone Cricket Club declared the bat legal and permitted its use worldwide, in any format of the game of cricket and at any level from Test match down.
