Good collection... Interesting to see a Piri Piri there.  I've heard very little about them on here before - anyone have any ideas why? And how does that bat go, Simon??

Piri piri, one shape bat, 3 diff grades, so 3 diff names and stickers.


My mate had his heart set on one. Phoned up to order the "top range" guy on the phone asked what level he played at, then told him he wasn't good enough for that bat and should by the grade three.
New dent somewhere else.

I also have them ontcwitter, and they just spam everything with vids of a 6year old playing cricket,



Nice collection simon. Some good bats. Lo e the size of the ss le

Hi Paul the bats are quite good if I am right the bats are made by hunts county and the first bunch come from Tim Kelley so made in uk but must admit a bit off a strange brand I like the look off them but not sure they are that popular

the bat with the yellow Handel is a custom made bat from affinity and is going to be my match bat next season it taps up very very well  :D

You're right buzz - the SAF is 2'12 but definitely picks up a lot lighter!
Will make one hell of a net bat!!

And I will certainly vouch for the yellow gripped Affiniti!! It will be a belter!! It's crazy good!

Was going to ask the same Paul. I've seen quite a few on ebay, but they've never really grabbed me. The branding's fine, but the grains have always looked ropey.

My knowledge of the brand is that kids go crazy for the stickers, but adults less so.  I know a few shops stock them too.  Prior to this thread, I hadn't heard any feedback whatsoever on their quality though! Maybe we should set up a separate thread on Piri Piri (sorry for deviating from the topic, Simon!)

The stickers and branding approach is cool - I like that they're slightly comical.

It not a stock shape it was a request that I asked Marcus to do and he will be supplying stickers as soon as he has them printed I think you need to add one to your collection you won't regret it this bat is going to be very special Pete took a shine to it Sunday and that's got to be good with a man who has over a 100 bats  ;)

Possibly will consider it but in my top top end collection I already have an AJK, kudos, 2x Salix players and a GM LE and. One of these are my main match bats so can't really justify another £350+ to sit and look pretty. I will possibly consider in the future though. Looks lovely once again though mate.
