And players on both sides have struggled to make runs.
As I understand it, the dimensions of bats are controlled but weight isn't. However, the difference between the lightest and heaviest bats is only around 200gm (say 15% of the heavier bats) and I think that the effect of that difference would be negligible for Test cricketers.
It would be interesting to look at the results of any biometric studies of cricket bat weight.
