Title: New bat game
Post by: Nickauger on February 10, 2012, 10:08:36 PM: Pointless topic born completely of boredom, but have just bought a new bat.... what is it?

Questions can only be answered yes/no or cannot confirm. If said question is answered 'yes' or 'cannot confirm or deny', you get another go, answer it wrong, let someone else a go :D

Also, any ideas of a worthwhile bat cover for said bat.

Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Johnny on February 10, 2012, 10:45:05 PM: I thought bulldog was Somerset based? I.e. south west?
Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Colesy on February 10, 2012, 10:46:56 PM: Isn't that the same thing though as Kieron makes the bats?
Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Nickauger on February 10, 2012, 10:48:09 PM: Confused by every-one breaking the rules lol.
Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Colesy on February 10, 2012, 10:53:48 PM: I've read through the whole topic and couldn't work out the rules. Saying that I have been to the pub and I am far too tired to work things out.
Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Nickauger on February 10, 2012, 10:55:55 PM: Hmmm was a stupid game anyway lol, didn't seem to work!

Not to worry, entertained me for a while.
Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Johnny on February 10, 2012, 11:04:00 PM: Hmm... Maybe you should have insisted on people PM'ing you the questions
Title: Re: New bat game
Post by: Nickauger on February 10, 2012, 11:06:55 PM: Perhaps your right Johnny

Anyway, went to see Kieron earlier, to have a look at some bats in the 2lb11-3lb range and my goodness did he have some stormers. Anyone looking to invest in a new bat, who is down this way then I would suggest popping in to see him. Top bloke, and very reasonable to deal with. Had some absolutely massive 2lb9 bats and some odd combinations of Short blade long handles etc.
