Title: Sam Billings
Post by: The_Bird on August 14, 2012, 11:04:51 PM: Ok so this guy is increasingly looking like a very classy one day bat, I was wondering what is going on with his bat? It's an Oblivion but he appears to have customized it. Is this common? Why not use the legend stickers if he prefers the more subtler look?

Prefer the back sticker too!

He's been using oblivions for the past year or so, I'll try and find out what this is on saturday

Yes mate it was at our place but can't remember the oppo. I remember it well as I was playing up the back pitch and Sam scored precisely 208 more runs than I did that day :-(

600 runs in 80 overs, must've been a very good deck!
