Title: My oblivion L.E
Post by: gabbers on August 22, 2011, 04:41:13 PM

Hi All,

I received my L.E Oblivion a couple of days ago after choosing it at the gray nicolls test match stand at lords for the 1st test against India and i am over the moon with it. I'm going to wait until next season to use it in a match but will use it in nets for the first time on wednesday. Its been pre-knocked in but just to make sure i have knocked it in for a few hours and the mallet responded very nicely. I've also knocked a few balls up and down and it felt fantastic!!!

Bat details:
weight: 2.11.
grips: 2 white octopus grips.
grains:15
handle: oval with carbo re-inforcement to stop handle braking.
profile: low.
edge: 43mm.
Pick up: light for the size of it.

the oblivion compared to my Krakatoa sps which also weighs 2.11

Looks a beauty. I borrowed a GN all last season, didnt want to give it back in the end so i had to have it copied! will definatly consider getting one in the future.

Hope it plays well for you mate

just got a krakatoa. just made 250 runs in 5 innings with it. lovely (though low) middle and perfect pick up. highly recommend one to anyone

That must have been one hell of a lightweight cleft, it definately dwarfs the Krakatoa
