cant find a picture of it but it had some sort of signature on the back? not seen this on the libro before, also looks a smiler shape to the libro any ideas who makes his bat?
-
I know who makes his bats I have seen a few of them same place I get mine
-
Hawk make his bats?
-
b3?
-
I'm with pro cricket - clue based in Nottingham just off the m1
-
When I was at hawk I saw 4 of his bats there along with other ashes players bats. They were telling me how broad was the fussiest of the lot
-
Hawk do not make Broads bats exclusively trust me on that one I can not say who does because it would not be right but I have seen his Adidas bat which was a sareen and I saw his copies and the stickers ready to be applied his bats are heavy and longer bladed
Whilst I was there I also saw a few Pakistan players bats being made up seems they quite popular
-
Not surrprised lol as he's what 6'7"? I should really try to get used to a long blade bat.... maybe next time! And you can't say that he gets them
made at the same place I do, when we all know you're a b3 nut! You're a dirty rotten tease Dave lol! ;)
-
I'm in the same situation as procricket. Know who makes them but sworn to secrecy.
LAst time I was in his, and another england players were that there waiting for collection.
Broad also has his handle angled forward to exaggerate the bow so to speak.
-
Hmm
Hawk say different
They showed me the bats destined for him and two he had rejected because the edges were too small, they then showed me the cupboard full of Adidas stickers.
Guess a few people must make for him!
-
The guys from B3 came down to our 6 a side competition last week. They were quite open about making bats for a certain England player (brought a stickered up bat - was ridiculous size for its weight), but they didnt allude to making any other internationals bats when asked.
-
I heard they were all TK bats! ;)
Disclaimer: I don't know this, just stirring the pot as it werre!
-
I guess there is always people making for people Broads weight was quite interesting g very very heavy 2-14 if I remember correctly.
I know a few of the lads got sareens when they where in India As you do.
If I had my pick I would get from all sources.
Your right max I should have said exclusively ref hawk.
-
So would I
The bats I picked up of his seemed quite heavy too! They shape I liked very much!
-
Hawk made for Bell, I know that much. I also heard on here, and you hear a lot, that they were making for KP at one point as well?
-
Still making for both i've been told bud!
-
I take a lot of what I hear with a pinch mate! M&H and Laver made most of the bats every pro was using in the 90's, so I understand.
Talking of Milly, my mate went down today, came back £700 lighter. I am seeing his new Master tomorrow. I'll take some pics and pop it up on here. In fact I'll try get some pics of all the lads bats in one and get some feedback and give you all some opinions on them, given I have tapped them all up

I understand ha just going off what ive seen and what hawk told me whilst i was there bud!
-
Looking forward to seeing some pics of the master too!! Always wanted one
-
Wasn't knocking your information bud, not in the slightest. Just saying you head a lot of rumours on here.
Never understood why Hawk are not thought more of, and are not considered to be as good. Lots of them round Shropshire, and never seen a rubbish one.
-
Sounds like Broad is the new Sachin, with everyone claiming to make his blades.
Ultimately, i think players try/use an awful lot of bats from various sources. Of course that manufacturer (if they want to) will then claim they make bats for said player, even if said player only picked up a couple of bats to take and try in nets when they visited.
Some internationals are kit badgers just like us, so it would be silly to assume that they only stick to one manufacturer when there will be a plethora of bat makers offering to supply bats to them.

I read it wrong haha my apologies! Yeh i agree, don't really get the recognition they deserve!
-
dont' care what bat he uses.. Bloody cheat. Middled it to clarke and didn't walk.. I'm totally ashamed of him
-
He should have walked, yes. However Clarke should have walked in 2010. It happens, and as Strauss said earlier on Sky, that's just the game now.
Gilly was the only walker in a field of standers. Doesn't make it right, just seems acceptable in some circles.
For me personally, did take the shine off today, as when I watched them walk off, instead of looking at the scorecard and thinking bosh, we've got the buggers on the ropes, I felt Broad should be gone and we would possibly be 8/9 down.
Still, it all works itself out in the end. Never liked him anyway to be honest. Over rated.....
I digress...nice bats though ;)
-
Hawk told me they make his bats

Same here. Maybe they used to.

two wrongs don't make a right but did the aussies call trot back after they saw him edge on to his pads?

just because one person/team cheats (or doesn't play in the right spirit) doesn't mean everyone else has to do it. I know at lot of people only care about winning but what impression does it give to us mere mortals.. or the youngsters.. If you play hard, play fair and in the right spirit then more people will also do it as 'it's what you do'.. currently we seem to be heading down the wrong path towards people basically screwing each other over
-
Hawk told me they make his bats
And me. When I was there a couple of weeks ago they had raw clefts set aside for Broad which they were showing a young visitor to the shop.
-
The umpire has a job to do let him do it.
That's Ian Chappell theory and mine had too many bad uns
As with broads bats I have seen a actual bat of his was a sareen.
But as people allude too be could and will use many different makers
-
Have a big suspicion this is Broads bat in the background

Who knows?? :D
-
Just going with what a lot have already said here, as I was choosing my bat at Hawk, he did bring out Broad's bat ready and waiting for him to pick it and have Adidas pay the bill. There would be no reason why he would lie. But I get that players can source bats from lots of places. But Broad did have 6 from Hawk.
-
I used to make bats for Tendulkar....
I love how people claim to make bats for player x. Or maker x makes bats for player x and no-one can say they do but everyone thinks they know who makes for who.
The day I see proof that B3 makes for Trott, Broad and whoever else or Hawk or whoever will be the day I believe it... Talk is always cheap...
Please let everyone know I make for Sachin though

Misbah-ul-haq uses B3 cricket bats.

As I said what bat do people think this is the bat I saw on my travels was a sareen too.
To be fair if I was a professional cricketer I would get bats made by everybody
-
Most important thing is he uses it to good effect to stack up some runs this morning to push us past a 300 lead (dare I say 350)!

Dave, you have had bats made by most people and you aren't a professional cricketer?

I predict Broad out before his 50

I thought Dave was James Taylor just using a different name

Just wishful thinking

With all the technology available to the umpires these days, a howler like that should never get through. The third umpire should have stepped in as the decision was sooooo bad! It's not Broads job to do the umpiring and when we are talking about careers that earn these guys millions of moneys, I wouldn't walk either! I'm an Aussie, by the way...
-

He'll probably be timed out, deliberating which bat to use.
-
If I was him I would get in touch with mars...
Imagine him turning up with a big SNICKERS back sponsor sticker
Bit of a Southgate Pizza Hut moment
-
He's going on tour with a U2 tribute band.
He'll be playing lead guitar.

From reading this thread this one tickled me

Tickle? What tickle?

because Broad is an annoying I predict he will score 100+ and love every moment of it.
-
Watching the game on Foxtel and Michael Holding made an interesting comment that if Ramdin got banned for two games due to unsportsmanlike conduct, why shouldn't Broad. Not my opinion but quite interesting nonetheless...
-
Because umpire didn't give broad out yet ramdin claimed a catch when he knew he had shelled it.
Who's to say Broad knew he'd hit it?
Time to put it to bed and move on I'm afraid, Clarke reviewed his today despite knowing it had carried and been given!!!!! Will we see such a storm in a tea cup after that ??? I doubt it even with past history in tow.
Lets enjoy the series for what it is not focus on the failings of the umpires
-
Should we all lambast Haddin he knew he hit it is it any different really than what Broad did?
Please don't go down the contextual route both didn't walk.
-
Quite interesting listening to Vaughan on the radio yesterday. He said he walked after edging in his first game, got back to the dressing room to be told " you never walk, it's the umpires job to give you out" He never walked after as he said there times when you are given out when your not out so never walk. It's the umpires job to give you out. Tuffers agreed with him.

I heard what Vaughan said on the radio as well and I agree. In my opinion its what the umpires are there to do. I have no problem with batsman not walking and am not bothered about what Broad did because plenty of the Aussies stood there for their decisions. It only annoys me when I play if a batsman does nick it and and is given not out but then almost rubs it in by saying he nicked it, thats happened many times in games I have played. I have even seen batsman start to walk and realise the umpire is not going to give it so take a couple of steps back and carry on, thats also seriously annoying.

Defiantly right if all this about broad is happening, Haddin should of walked
