Title: R.I.P
Post by: Stuey on February 20, 2014, 08:29:18 AM
My 6 year old Fusion succumbed to external damage in our nets last night. She lost a chunk of wood from her inside edge, she was still pinging the ball to her last.  RIP. Time for the young fusion to step up, big shoes to fill.

6 years is a long relationship. I'm sure you have some fond memories together ;)

This.

I was a steady relationship one bat man before I joined this forum.

2 years later my eyes have been opened and I now chase after any young willow that catches my eye.

You have been warned and the propsed young Fusion will need to know there will be a bevy of beauties waiting to satisfy your cravings.  :o

Thanks Gents, she was a beaut, the best bat I've had. No repairs other than a refurb 2 years ago. Now seeing out her days in my kit bag, just along for the ride.  :D

I think you might be right about collecting numerous bats, looking at the bat makers ranges is addictive. I fear its too late  ;)

Sounds like a keeper though?  I have one from the 1980's - just like looking at it every now and then!

Why do I have an image of you sitting on your bed, staring wistfully at a black and white picture of a cricket bat" Like you would of a picture of an ex girlfriend, remembering the good times....
