I don't have any pictures that are completely clear of my match bat, but here's the best I've currently got;
2'10, harrow blade but short handle length bat(T20 style SH bat) - absolutely flies off of it.

you don't want to see it its awful , going to try buy one off someone from the forum once I can get the sale area

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What's stopping you going to a forum sponsor and getting a cracker of a bat from them?

I don't have a very large budget good enough for a high quality bat so I was going to see if anyone would be selling used ones for a bit cheaper but if I did have the money id buy from the forum sponsors some of the bats look amazing

Mate dont let looks faze you. I hate the notion that a top notch bat needs to have perfect straight grains blah blah blah. All about pressing and performance. Rather have an ugly piece of willow that goes like a train then an amazing looking plank - worst bat I have ever owned was a GN Legend with AMAZING grains and a middle the size of a 5 cent piece.

It's a Laver & Wood copied from one of Bradmans bats that they had previously copied and its 2lb9oz

Averaged about 30 last season with a couple of 50's.

Coming onto the forum to pick up a cheap bat isn't the best reason to be here. There are far more valuable things you can take from the forum than just a few cheap bats. Listen, look and learn from some very experienced people on this forum and you will be far richer for it.

does that mean no runs this season

Not played as much as I'd like this year for various reasons so I've not had to bat very much. Lets just say I've only been dismissed once in the league but my average is still in single figures...

It has two 1s in it! I've jumped about 9 divisions since last season where I was a number 3! Very different standards but I still think I could do a job!
Need to play a few Sunday friendlies to get some batting in.

Try going from playing Bush cricket in Australia to Kent Premier 1's in the UK, batting at 3 (didnt take me long to get nudged down the order haha)! Talk about a wake up call :)

I'm an off spinner mate.
Got a couple of sharp bowlers in the league but nothing scarily quick.
Our 1st team have someone who bowls in the mid 80s, that was a challenge!

the two blank bats are 2lbs 9 almost 2.10 and the 808 is 2.10

both blanks bats are Keeley pressed, the one on the left was shaped by Dom and the other appeared mysteriously via the Keeley factory to Pete then to me.

that bat on the left is my favorite and main bat.

Will show my main match bat at the moment!
I'm not saying it the best, but its as good as any other bat I have, and better than most!
It's 2'10 and has stunning performance. Enjoy the pics!

That B3 went elsewhere as I already have a Trott Players which is similar profile.
Plus have a 21 grained long blade B3 which I am playing in, which is superb! Too much choice!  :(
