It's a repeat I think. It's at the gm factory and starts with graham Dilley coaching. Good watch though.

Love that CNC machine

Really good watch. That CNC machine works so fast. How much time does the CNC process reduce the time it takes to complete a bat as compared to totally handmade?

Thanks for the heads up about the show.

When the opening titles came on and talked about Pietersen, Bell and Broad I presumed it was going to be linked to Addidas when they were all with them.

Could have at least introduced it using GM sponsored players!
