Title: Couple of Azhars bats up for grabs ... 1 used by boom boom ...
Post by: hell4leather cricket on December 14, 2011, 08:09:08 PM
I had azhar mahmood visit me last week to get  some bats  for his stint in nz , He bought me 3 bats  back i had made for him in the last  season ,anyway they will only sit in the workshop so i thought i would offer them to the loverly  forum folk ....
The first bat is unused (on the left)  2.10 1/2 oval handle 2 chevron grips,clear face , £275 posted

The second is a little more interesting  this was used by shahid 'boom boom' afridi in the titans cricket to devistating effect ,so the bat is match used by the man himself there are videos floating around on youtube of him using it  and the noise it made !
The bat specs are 2.10 1/2 oval handle 2 chevron grips ,clear face ,there is a small split on the toe but nothing major . This is more of a collectors piece ,and a rare chance to own a bat used by one of modern crickets biggest players .

Matt how much better are both these bats than your standard top of the range G1 bats and what is the difference?

These are made from the lightest  clefts available and hand picked by Azhar , Azhar is well known as being fussy about his bats i'm sure tom could verify this when was previously with mongoose .

On JS Wright's system they can't be G1. But then no-one uses Wright's system for selling bats.
