Saw that on Facebook mate....not very good publicity for GM as his bats always seem to snap in televised games!

At least he didn't get out off this one by the looks of it, usually when his bat goes he picks out the fielder and goes ape

Didn't Trott's handle break in today's ODI?

Pretty sure in the photos from today's game you can see the old GM sticker marks.

Maybe it's a job lot of GN pads for the whole team to match the exact shade of yellow in the team kit

Are his B3 bats flat faced?

Yes but it more be has no bow here the straightest bats but for sure he uses both his old gm designed by the doctor and his new bats plus his next batch which I saw

Maybe this is why Samit Patel uses so much tape on his GM bats.

It would not suprise me if GM dropped him, he has had a bit of bad publicity recently, not scoring loads in test or ODI cricket for a while so maybe,

Probably really simple though that he just forgot the or they split etc.

Me and Tom were talking about it on twitter and included GM in all of our tweets. They replied saying he forgot to pack them. All sorted now though apparently.

And they have a Shane Watson players edition in the coming soon section of the Aus GM website.

He is probably a player who has broken most bats in live game!

If you hit the ball as hard as he does and play with the same bats for so long your bound to break a few.

As a cricketer, would you not make sure you packed all of your kit? The mind boggles!

Can't see Watto going anywhere as Gm are still trying to break into the Oz cricket market as Gray Nics/Kookaburra are a long way ahead in sales back there!!! And I have seen bats break like that before especially when you get the back punched out of them and the front face looks fine lol!!!!

i remember him breaking a few pumas in a similar manner. maybe he doesn't like his bats pressed much
