The weight is just under 2.11 and a half,i kept the toe a bit bigger as i know how he likes to dig out yorkers! :o
He picked it up and smiled at me,used it in a midweek game and gave me the thumbs up :D :D
Any comments welcome

I think his smile said a thousand words of praise.

Looks identical, well done.

It wasn't meant to be a copy,it was Just for the feel of handle and weight.pick up is very simular even with the bigger toe which we where both happy about.
