My new MG2 in sehwag profile for aussie conditions. Hopefully it will arrive Monday. I'll do a review then.

Yeh I picked that up as well. Never used a 2 spring bat before, I wonder what it will be like?

No noticeable difference, although the ball does seem to come off the bat more firmly and surely.

Any reason it has Sanga Stickers on it?

quote from mg2 website
 "Check out the "Sanga", our flagship bat in the MG2 range of handcrafted bats. Named after one of the best cricketers in the world Kumar Sangakkara.
Kumar was our first customer at MG2 Cricket and we honour him in every Sanga bat we make, a truly wonderful man and this is what I want you to own.............a truly wonderful cricket bat."

Really nice looking bat, profile reminds me of the GM Icon.

It has sanga stickers on because the royal blue with silver was new for 2012 and I thought they would look better than the VS sticker.

I will do plenty of pics once it arrives

Yeh simmy. I have spent a kings ransom over the last 2 years to find out that a high middle is what suits me. Now I have bats lying around the place with low to mid middles.LOL

Lazza, nice stick mate, did you request the location of the middle? Looks like a custom of the vs profile and a bit lighter too.

@awp
I just asked for the VS profile with an ounce taken off as you would know the quick wickets we play over here in perth.
