From left to right;

- Plain Pakistani Bat (with SS stickers) 2.8ish - Very good pickup, ping was good when I used to use it. It was my first bat- when I started playing cricket.
- GN Powerbow 3 Star 2.7 - Amazing bat! Ping is very good among my best!
- CA 12000 Plus 2.9 - Very good balance and pickup.
- MB Malik Bubber Sher 2.8 - Brilliant ping but I don't use the bat a lot, I mean I haven't used it much.
- Newbery Krakatoa 2.7 - Lovely bat!
- MB Malik Limited Edition 2.8ish - BIG Bat! Pings very well when you middle it.
- Salix Rogue 2.10 - Lovely shape, good pickup and very good ping as well!
- M&H Harlequin 2.9ish - Amazing feel and very good ping.
- GM Icon Original LE 2.8 - Very good bat, one of the best pickup I have ever had
- GM Luna 808 2.8 - Lovely pickup and ping for a grade 2 bat.
- GM Flare Original LE 2.7 - Brilliant bat but shame that I haven't used it yet.
- Laver & Wood Legend 2.10 - Carboncore handle, very good pickup and balance for 2.10.
- Laver & Wood Reserve 1, 2.8ish - VEry good bat and ping is decent too but requires knocking.
- Laver & Wood Reserve 'Pro' Type 2.8 - Among the best I have ping, feel, balance is out of this world!
- Puma Iridium 3000 2.7 - Impressed with low range puma finish, ping and everything is superb for a low end bat.
- Puma Iridium 6000 2.8 - Very good feel and goes well of mallet.
- BlackCat Shadow 2.9 - Whatever I say will be less for it, this bat is something else!
- Gray Nicolls Oblivion Custom 2.8 - Top bat in terms of everything!

Thanks for taking the time to line them all up!!
Great Looking collection and very impressed.
My faves From your collection would be the salix rogue and the laver Legend due to the extra weight. And of course the GN Custom due to it's weight and chunkiness and the black cat.

If you have too many bats, I would be willing to take one or more off your hands for free  ;)

I'll at least pay for the postage ;)

Haha thanks guys appreciated,

Pete, BlackCat would be light for you :P that Obllivion is more chucky than GN Custom.

Matt, since I'm playing morning (T25) and regular 50 overs so my morning games bats are going to be Luna 808, Iridium 3000 and Paksiatni bats because of dew factor and I don't want to damage my good bats :( one of Laver (Reserve) won't be used this year because I won't have time to open it up but the other Reserve pings very well!
