I am pretty sure that AB Devilliers' bat is not a kookaburra. So, who really makes the ABD bat and do we have any intell on the specs? Please share.

Is that a long blade?

A South Afican batmaker ?
-
I can't beleive people are even asking!
It has kookaburra stickers, and a kookaburra armourtech scuff sheet, it simply has to be a kookaburra!
When is a bat ever different from the stickers it has? ;)

I heard through a guy who played domestic cricket with him he always used bellingham and smith

Don't think it really matters, he could be using a £20 Kashmir plank. The man's a friggin superhero!

I heard a rumour that tk makes b and s.
Then I've heard a rumour that tk make everything.
So therefore tk make kookaburra.
So it is a kookaburra........

What is "TK"?

LOL. C'mon guys. :D I don't know TK but more importantly, we the bat sleuths, have not conclusively determined who makes ABD's bats. :D
It is a sad day indeed . :(
-
B&S do not make AB devillers bats
TK makes the GP274 for B&S

Wow that's a first one from a brand. Otherwise TK remains a mystery.
Does kook have a batmaker in Australia or is it all made in India
-
Don't know how true it is, but I read somewhere on the forum some time ago that AB used CA bats along with Hashim....
-
Wouldn't the international stars (or atleast some of them) be having a personal bat maker? Or they for sure would be getting bats made to their choice. So kook could be making ABD's bats.
-
I'm pretty sure that he makes his own, probably represented South Africa at bat making when he was younger too ;)

t has kookaburra stickers, and a kookaburra armourtech scuff sheet, it simply has to be a kookaburra!

It's nice of CA to put the BAS stamps on Hashim's bats for him as well as the stickers! ;)

Like I said @WalkingWicket37 I read it somewhere on the forum, can't find it now, but I didn't know how true it was.

@skip1973 Any links to the new ranges that you've been seeing?
I'm particularly interested in the new Gray Nics 2016 Aus range...

Stamps some players have the equipment to get stamps on bats trust me on that.
Not saying it not a BAS just stamps are not a guarantee.
Nice profile though I really like Bas bats

No I only have a hard copy catalogue at the moment.

I bowled to him in the nets at the Ageas Bowl and he was using a CA. At the time the stamp wasn't covered but before the game it was. CA (and BAS infact) have a big offering is SA.
I would guess, like most pro's, he probably get a host of bats from various sources.

Apparently they did when South Africa toured Australia where Faf scored century in Adelaide. In that series..

In the post that I read, it was also the England vs South African series...
-
This is what I imagine happens with increasing frequency...
Brand: "here's our bats, take your pick..."
Player/agent: "er, actually I've been using these for years and like the option of picking up bats locally when touring abroad..."
Brand: "ok, here's a few sets of stickers..."

Think you hit the nail on the head @jamielsn15
-
Amla wasn't using a Bas today, had the edge stamps covered with tape. Either a CA or TON

Yes, agreed! The bat shape looked like a CA.
