ST supposedly used to use 3lb+ in his younger days!
But he has issues these days with his elbow, so has evidently reduced the weight to more like 2'12-14?
I asume this to be true but I would quite like ST to send that particular bat to me so that I can weigh it and be sure! Obviously I would do my best to return the bat to him!!  ;)

I like to use 2'10ish if possible, but have comfortably used a 3lb bat too.
But as I do very much resemble Mr. Bean then the gym needs my attention!

Gayle doesn't use ishan anymore, I believe his IPL bat is 3.1lb, or so he says.

You only have to see the M&H master up close to see the HUGE size of ST's bat!
