How many bats do you need for nets, matches and to perv over?
Looks like a good stick in all seriousness.
-
Nice bat :)
My wish list seems to be getting bigger by the day. If by slim chance this bat heads for the for sale section can I have first refusal ;)
-
Simon,
I am very jealous!? :o
Looks lovely though mate!
Do you mind if I ask where you got it?
-
Will you be growing an unpleasant moustache and a propensity to make rash public statements?
-
I'm more amazed that he can write his name. Assumed his signature would just be a cross written in blood or poop.

No I think I might get a fair bit off stick when I go out to bat with this lol

If someone did the outline for him I'm sure he could have traced it (if they explained what to do in one syllable words anyway).

You can mate but it not a cheap bat the cheapest I can find it is 360 but if I ever decided to get rid I keep you in mind but I think this will be a keeper as being waiting on a good gn for a long time be interesting to see how the signature compares to my vortex le witch is on the way :)
-
I am contemplating intercepting your mail from here on in given the volume of bats you are receiving lol :D
-
Nice bat. I Like the profile shape, and the all out lairyness of this bat.
Would love to take this out to bat to see if I get any banter, I think to might clash with my bright green laces in my batting shoes though........
-
Looks great and can easily be a match bat instead of net bat :)

I did have bright pink laces in my shoes until a jobs worth umpire said they were a distraction.
I did ask why he was looking at my feet rather than the ball and got no response :-[

Well I carry three in my bag but just got to work out What 3 I no a special bas will be in their and a affinity so I might just keep this one bat for midweek cricket as it's such a big pice off willow

Most stumpers comment, odd fielder, but I'm not sure our umps can see that far........

Due to hayfever I get sometimes when playing in really 'village' grounds, I sneeze a fair bit. Due to this the umpires cancelled any runs I made due to sneezing or sniffling during bowlers run up...

It's was one off the reasons I decided to go ahead and get it I love the way the stickers look and with my bright orange nike batting shoes I will be noticed lol

Nice stick, just a shame the the shape doesn't resemble the bat he uses at all.

His seems to have more taken out by the Handel and it flattens out near the toe more

Have you got the Vortex yet as i was properly torn between the Vortex 5stars Jake had in and the Oblivion E41 5 star but thought E41 would be a better bat in the long run, let me know how your Vortex goes and show some pics when it arrives as i do prefer that to Nemesis and also a few others in the Grays range.

With the vortex I think you are going to love it or hate it they pick up very light but I can't see it being one for someone who hits the ball very hard more off a touch players bat so all depends on your game

looks a nice stick mate
How much these signatures cost?
-
Net bat :o This stick should be used as Match bat, very lovely shape and grains Enjoy kabooms out of the ground ;)
-
Is a nice looking bat, however for me its a shame it doesn't have no concaving like his bats.
-
Agree but might be warner is using stickers of kaboom, his bats are huge and non- concaved
-

His bats will change all the time due to the ground he is playing at. When in Australia on some of the quickest tracks in world cricket and as an opening bat why would he need any weight in the toe? He would have a high middle and a slightly lighter blade I would guess then when he was over here or in Asia somewhere.

The cheapest price I have seen is 360

Just a shame that they did not bring the pads in the uk so trying to get some anybody who has a used pair or new don't care but I don't want to pay 60 pounds postage before I even gets the pads I know its a long shot :)
-
Are they only in Australia?
