Hamish Gardiner was using this bat during Scotland's promising end to the Summer, Hamish himself posting scores of 89 against Ireland and 82 against New Zealand A.
The bat suffered some shoulder damage early in it's life which was repaired and held up well while Hamish plundered his runs. He has sent it back as he feels at 2'5 (including toe guard and scuff sheet) it is a bit too light for him.
Taking the damage into account, but factoring in the fact that the bat carries the new 2015 Assegai 5 star stickers, we have priced this bat to go at just £100, including UK delivery.
PM me with your interest :)

This will be snapped up pretty quickly! Lovely shape, and a big bat for the weight!
-
Thank god its 7oz too light for me! I might notice that big a difference
-
That a ridiculous weight for the size! Bloody wish I had some money at the moment.
-
Desperate for my Midas to sell in time to buy!
Jake, has the damage been repaired or is it still as is?
Thanks :D
-
PM sent! :)
-
Sold :)
The damage occurred early season, the bat has been used in at least 3 international games since then.
-
Well that was quick.
PM me if the sale drops through.
-
Glad i didn't see this!
-
Damm wish I hadn't logged on this late in the day I would have bitten your hand off Jake.
Let me know if buyer fails to pay or changes mind.
-
I would be interested if the original buyer drops out!!
-
I can only assume that missing out on this is karma for only really being on the forum whilst at work!
-
I was just thinking exactly the same...
-
Evening all, just thought I'd pop some more photo's of the bat on for those of you who are interested. I was lucky to get in quick enough and grab this beauty, it's a lovely looking bat and picks up like a toothpick.
Happily post some more pics if required!

Looks like a belting bat!
Incredible size for such a light bat. I'm sure it's too light for you though mate ;)
-
Vitas,
Will you be getting anything else similar to this?
Thanks

It actually doesn't feel as light as I expected, I'm guessing you'd know someone who'd be more suited to it?!
-
What's the edge and spine heights as it hard to gauge from pictures. To me it doesn't look that big but then again I've never used a bat so light.

No idea, will get my tape out later and have a measure for you.

We had a couple of B&S bats around 2'5-2'6 this season, they were sold before I even unpacked them from the box properly to customers in store at the time. Hopefully we will get a few more this year.
If you meant bats used in international cricket at such a low price, hopefully not. I don't really want to see any damaged bats, especially not a B&S. But if the right scenarios come together to create the same situation again, I will post on the forum.
I currently have a couple of professional players bats in the shop. One has been fixed for a Sussex player but I suspect he will want this back at some point. The other is the bat of a former England player (it faced 2 balls after coming out of the wrapper in a charity game that I watched and robin played in) it might find its way onto the forum soon.
Surprised by the comments regarding the size of this bat, it isn't particularly imposing, it is only 2'5 after all.

Slightly off topic but what are the scales you've used in the photo earlier on in the thread? I've weighed this on my cheapo non-digital ones and it comes up as 2.7. I certainly don't trust mine but would like a set of accurate digital ones.

Beyond being Salter branded, i don't know what model they are. They are pretty accurate (i do test them with a bag of sugar every so often) and weren't overly expensive.

Measured it just for you d7bow, edge is 37mm, spine about 47mm and offset against the edges.

Seems to be using it's replacement to good effect today
