Title: GN Players
Post by: langer17 on April 08, 2011, 07:47:51 AM
This was on the Greg Chappell facebook page and It has 20+ grains. I'm surprised that they put this up to sell to the general public because it wont last long, and the bat costs $699 AUD/£449 GBP which is alot, so you'd want it to last a little while!

It does look very nice though.

That'll last just fine, it may have lots of small cracks on the face if you use it well but no more than that.

Most likely the money will go to charity. Its easier to sell if Greg's name is associated with it.

Majority of the players range came with bats with alot of grains like that. Hardly saw one with less than 10

20's good but I hear 30 is the true benchmark.....
