Brilliant buy I must say, bat and bag would add up to 100 quids easily I'd say.

Good buy mate

Don't think it's stated,

but even if it's a plank, you can still use it in nets and with those pads/pad etc I reckon it'll be a decent bat.

Yep it does, the guy really didn't know a thing about cricket gear, i asked him about the grill and he said he didn't know what material it was, so instead of asking for a picture, i thought i would leave it as a surprise!
Just happy i got everything so cheap!
