Title: Duncan Fearnley - 5* bat
Post by: Percy_Grainger on December 31, 2012, 12:22:46 AM

Realised no one has ever posted any pics of this bat so I thought I might be the first in case anyone is interested in the bat.  Appearance wise it looks pretty good.  Unbleached Grade 1 willow with about 6 grains, straight.  Comes with toe guard and face cover sheet as standard.  I bought this during their current sale.  Will see how it goes when nets start in Feb.

The toe is very narrow. Never seen one like it before.

procricket - its a 2lbs 8oz.  Specifically asked for a light one with good pick up.  Hence possibly why the toe is so small.  Would have preferred one without a scuff sheet.  Not a big fan of those.  Handle is very thick also.
