Post by: Vic Nicholas on November 10, 2011, 04:45:58 AM: I might add, the loveliest bat I have ever played/held/looked at.

I have climbed to the top of the bat mountain...unless there are new technological break throughs that further improve the responsiveness of modern bats, I don't know whether I will have better.

Certain companies are hostile to having their stickers on something that isn't theirs - even if this bat is better than anything they could make.

It is fair enough I guess because they have to protect their brand from Indian/Pakistani fakes.

This bat is an English made cracker.

At teh end of the day, I do not wish to upset anyone.

Did you spot something in one of the pictures, or did you know already?

Post by: Tom on November 10, 2011, 09:24:48 AM: Spotted in the photos the positioning of the stickers would align with GM's, for example the first photo has been edited where the 'GM NOW' text usually displays.
