No pics yet, but there's a little catch ... I need 10 buyers for 10 bats ... if I get 10 buyers, you'll all get a bat for £250, inc. postage to a mainland UK address.  Postage to non-mainland UK is a little extra, and postage to Europe/Worldwide at cost.

Weights are:
Bat A, 1150g, 2lb 8.5oz
Bat B, 1120g, 2lb 7.5oz
Bat C, 1160g, 2lb 8.9oz
Bat D, 1160g, 2lb 8.9oz
Bat E, 1150g, 2lb 8.5oz
Bat F, 1185g, 2lb 9.8oz
Bat G, 1165g, 2lb 9.0oz
Bat H, 1195g, 2lb 10.1oz
Bat I, 1165g, 2lb 9.0oz
Bat J, 1165g, 2lb 9.0oz

Currently selling on our website for £349.99.  If I get enough genuine interest, then pics will follow ... :)

Just for you Tony (and Tushar), I'll add 4 x Kahuna Players bats, but they are the 2012 model.  I don't have exact weights, but they should all be between 2.9 and 2.10

So 14 Players bats in total, need 10 or more takers and each will get one for £250, either Kahuna or Menace.

How about that?

I'll post the interested people onto the opening post.  Once I get the 10, then I'll ask for payment and will ask you to select your individual bat (based on first come first served). Not sure there is any fairer way, other than me picking the bats at random.

Please note, that if anyone pulls out of the deal, they will be affecting everyone else, so genuine interest only please.

Make sure you estimate an amount for postage and any possible import duties/taxes, which we are not responsible for.  If you need an accurate cost, just PM me with your address and I'll get back to you asap.

2'9 is on the heavier side of what id normally use...but im all up for seeing pictures as I could do with a heavier bat for T20 as ive heard thats what batters do ;)

A bat that weighing that light, and having a higher middle as most Kookaburra's do is pretty sure to be featherlight Billy.

My Kahuna was 2.10 and picked up beautifully. God knows how easy a 2.75 will!

When we had them in, I just picked a few at random and they all felt pretty good, as you'd expect from a top of the range bat.  I had someone weigh them afterwards before putting them on the shelves.  So for the 2.75 I'm not exactly sure.  But it would be very easy for me to say it picks up very light, and then in another person's hands it may feel different.

If only it was the ricochet players.....although a top range kook is always tempting....
