It's done it's second season. I have had to refurb it lately. Sanded it down and put a new scuff sheet on.

Pics to come!

I've had a play about with the one of them, but I was less than impressed - however the grade of willow was probably a 3, as they got them in a bundle and this was the free, or lower priced one.

Solanki was using them when he was at Worcestershire. They are massively underrated. I think they aren't seen very often because their softs aren't good at all.
