Not to much ton write home about until I saw a 5 star nitro saying 20 pound there was a bat in the way so in was thi king 120 !!!
Moved the bat no it was 20 took to the till with my fingers crossed but very doubtful ,
Came up on the till 20 my heart beated ,
I made the payment and ran back to the bats ,
I picked up a powerbow carbo looked lush no stickers ran to the till again 100 pound damn so I have spent 120 pound today but damn it was worth it till my camera on my phone decided to stop working so  got this one pic of nitro but god damn it's worth it

Buzz ,
Thank you for the comments ,
This forum has made me more aware of bargains and things that I should be looking for whilst buying a bat things I would never of known,
Girlfriend well she begged me to stay since then we have been ok and she regrets what she said .
Been explaing to Willkie in a pm
I think I got it so cheap as she did not scan it just typed in the amount on the bat but the powerbow as there was no sticker she had to get a price

And to think we could have had a net....

Shaq that nitro looks great, I love the nitro profile also

The sports direct near me has only rubbish bats

I am sure my client would have loved me to say, just off for a net, see you later, here is the invoice for my time, I know I haven't finished, but canners needs to work on his on drive and that is way more important...!! ;)

My mates dad Felt he needed a new bat after One net session in august. So we popped into JJB on the way home and he saw a nice rogue 450 that was 150 pounds reduced to 50 pounds. He took it to the till and I the Girl at the desk entered the wrong item as she said " that will be 15 pounds please" so he paid for it and said to my friend "go get the last one!" We left JJB with two rogue 450's for 30 pounds! I don't think her manager would be to impressed if he found out! I think sports direct and JJB must surely make a loss on there cricket products as everything seems to be on sale all year round.
