Right then forumites, With the 'deal of the century' thread catching my eye, and my want for a T20 bat, I quickly shot an email over to Mike, and he said that there was only this one left, So upon seeing the pictures of this beast, I decided that 168 was a very small amount for such a nice looking bat, and with the money back guarantee to fall back on, I decided to go ahead with the purchase. Then I received a PM yesterday saying that bat had been collected via courier and should be with me today. So with me having college today, It was the job of my dad to keep me informed as to when this arrived. I got the text through saying that I had a bat and a new set of softs waiting for me at home. So come 5 o'clock, i arrived home to find the box and the mail bag waiting for me.
I grabbed my knife and opened the box to a bat very well packaged with a lot of bubble wrap. Included in the bubble wrap was a hammer edge sheet and a spare grip.
Moving on to the bat. Specs are as follows:
37 mm edge
60 mm spine
1 1/2 inch shorter blade jobbie
Guess the weight?
Warning, these pics may cause extreme envy and or anger ;) lol

That bat is a beauty... Mark my words
-
Thanks guys, goes like a rocket off the mallet and with a ball :) thanks again :)
-
2.11? ??? Looks a beauty had toyed with a T20 but need as big a bat as possible - what can I say hand / eye co-ordination ;)
-
By the way was the Union Jack a coincidence?
-
What softs did you get mate?
-
I guess 2lb 9oz. Looks a lovely bat, bet the ball will fly off it!

Haha yes mate, total coincidence.

Got GM 808 softs mate :)
-
2.8 or 2.9 . Looks a lowish middle so won't be too heavy
-
2.8 is correct :) Huge for the weight. Middle is pretty mid positioned really, but there is meat aplenty everywhere on the bat :) lol
-
that is really big for the weight.

Nice bat this one too...so how much weight do we save by reducing the shoulders by 2 inches ?
-
Wow, its massive. They are lovely bats, I have in 2.11ish and it has circa 42mm edges.
-
Bats looks stunning, with lot of meat and weight 2.8 too good a bat, i reckon. Pictures are not doing justice though.
