Title: Choose your weapon
Post by: Stuey on January 09, 2015, 02:44:33 PM
It's friday afternoon so a bit of fun.
Scenario - It's your last ever match and you can use any bat of your choice.....what's your chosen weapon?

Mine is a full profile Kook Kahuna ala Pontings bat. My mate had one of his rejects and it went like (no swearing please)! 
I'm walking out with that.

Kicking Horse - 'Long Schlong' - never seen a weapon so huge!

Virtually none left in the world now sadly.

"That" bat Sachin used.

If even a smidgen of his talent came with it you'd be in for a Biggun!

Newbery Excalibur - a statement of intent just walking out to the middle with it.

On of the old bats my dad used to own - a Stuart Surridge or Lillywhite's.
Failing that, any of the tiny bats from the 30s or 40s. Just to see what I could do with one, and go out in my final game with a bit of old school elegance.
If one was good enough for Bradman, Hammond, Hobbs, Hutton, it's good enough for me.

My CA SM-18, by far the best bat I have ever owned.

I'd dig out the bat that's stashed in my loft. I've kept it for sentimental reasons since it's the only bat that I've ever raised to celebrate scoring a ton. I suspect it'll be the only bat to ever do that! Perhaps, just one last time it may do it again...

That's a good answer!

As a wish, My old hollow core GN Ultimate 1000. Best bat I have ever owned. Too bad it's dried out.

One of the 2 bet bats I've ever owned, Nixon a Thunder or Gray Nicolls Sabre 750.  Still have the Nixon but unfortunately the Sabre split badly.  Been trawling Ebay and alike for a good condition Sabre 750 or 1000 ever since!  Mentioned already on here but also always fancied a retro SS Turbo or Jumbo.

My current bat- 3lb 7oz Warsop, absolute gun! The ball hits the middle of this bat and you literally cannot feel the impact, its like a trampoline!

My Symonds Super Tusker. Still have it and use it indoors as its only 2lb 7oz. First bat I bought with my own money from working in a hotel aged 17 back in 1988 and with which I scored by first 50. Great bat!
