I have the bats I need. I can't use any more. They would be a foolish purchase.
However, I still firmly believe that each new bat I get will make me a better batsman and will score me more runs. It will make me irresistible to women, it will get me called up to the England team, and it will make my todger seem (even) bigger.
I am weak and I just want more - currently on my hot list are -
B3 Sulphur
Hunts Insignia
H4L Warbird
BB Big Purple One
GN500
Does anyone else have irresponsible, unnecessary bat crushes?
-
Yup. Every day.
RPC
H4L NV
Chris King GN Oblivion Billings shape
TON LE
An Onhand I played against the other week. A deity on its bike...
-
H4L Warbird
B3 New BD1 shape
What's the Sulphur @FattusCattus
-
I have a bat from the Gods (if you're into that) - a B3 Mullanator, yet I still crave an Affinity Custom, even though I know I would be perfectly happy with exact reproductions of my current bat from B3.
What indeed is the B3 Sulphur? Do I want it?
-
Oh my Gosh! Search it on here - the shape will make your balls shrivel to the size of raisins and your manhood stand prouder than a Buckingham Palace flagpole.
-
Hmmm well no really but if pushed an RPC gently bowed about 2lb 9oz with the traditional(quaver) stickers !!

Not again...

How often does this happen to you Jamie?
-
There are two bats that I really want, purely as masterpieces of wood shaping, to stroke and enjoy, and potentially even use...
A GN500 in LB and. Hunts County Insignia in LB. both of these would make me happy. If tony would make me an Eclipse I might possibly be even happier...

Do you mean this?
Nope mate this is one of Streaky mate. It is based on two current players profiles both different mate.
This is much fuller pal this is this profile with a little hint of concaving to get it a little lighter than picture below .

It's more seasonal than the frequency. Usually at the end of cricket season, when thoughts turn to the accumulation of yet more kit...

This conversation happened happened in the car this morning
The mrs " babe what did I get you for your birthday?"
Me " erm can't remember babe.... Oh we moved house and I said not to worry about it"
The mrs " that's right, I feel bad so would you like a new cricket bat?"
Me " well it's the end of season so you could maybe get one cheaper"
The mrs " well you get what you want and use the savings account babe"
Me " ok darling they are a few hundred though"
The mrs" that's ok babe its your belated birthday present"
The problem is I have said I'm going to have one bat for next season and I have that so looks like I'm going to have 2 new bats but that's it :D

Has your missus got a single sister with the same attitude? ;)
-
WARBIRD!!!!!
What more could any man need? It's got the words 'War' and 'Bird' in it!
The only bat that could possibly be named any better is the new Kicking Horse 'TitWankFerrariPint' :)
-

She does have a single, older sister Pete yes. Mine must have been in a great mood following our holiday to actually say I can buy a bat,
-
I didn't NEED any new bats but dear lord that B3 Sulphur does create a stirring in my loins!
-
I'm loving the use of 'older' for Pete! Cheeky!
-
It's the polite way!! And I am not in to a younger filly!
-
I'm loving the use of 'older' for Pete! Cheeky!
Respect your elders Fattus, hence why I laugh silently and behind a keyboard every time you mention your name and batsman in the same sentence lol

Yep have to agree when I first read the word Warbird the other week I thought then what a great name for a bat.

Does she like wood? ;) even if it is petrified

That's an absolute beauty mate! The middle would have to be a bit lower for me though, my batting is how should we say, a touch agricultural :D
-
I have plenty of bats, and for the vast majority of the season only used one... however I just want a Warbird and a Rob Pack now. I feel your pain fattus.
-
Oh god, where to start with my list!
B3 Trott profile
H4L tempo mk1
GN Kaboom Warner edition
RPC
GM Epic Players Edition
M&h CK22
SS/TON full profile
Aldred Spectre
Eoin Morgan's Spartan from the T20 match.
Newbery with C6 handle
BAS
I'm sure I'm missing a few bats off the list.
-
Pretty interesting this - I agree that there are loads of desirable bats around.
Personally on my list is... (not in order)
GN bat of some sort - UK made. Reason - most of the leading batsman/batsmen who hit the longest balls at the moment are using a GN bat at the moment
County bat - old times sake - they still make wonderful bats
B3 tweaked trott profile. just a brilliant bat shape
H4L - one of the forum sponsors who I haven't and really should have owned - those warbird stickers look amazing - but I will need a longer blade
RPC bat. Robert pack just makes magnificent bats
then loads of others... Red ink, one of Ryan's, another blank bat and that is before I get an Indian bat - probably a Larsons or a Ransons bat.
-
I'd forgot about the Trott profile, B3 1271 isn't it? Not much of a looker but the coverage I would imagine is unparalleled!
-
Loads of good bats around. I would like
1. Aldred Long handle/short blade butterfly
2. Chase Volante
3. H4L Hattori/Tempo
What I don't want
1. any M&H bat. I went in there today to get a toe guard, They tried to charge me 15 quid!!!!!!, was this to fit it as well? No. Way overpriced like all of their bats in my opinion.

On his inside edge as well! He likely know's nothing about batting!!

Buzz needs to get Morgs on Twitter
''do you know you're using a grade 2/3 bat on the telly''
haha :)
-
Being a GN whore for 2016, liking the classic collection and the GN500.
Also tempted by and F18, a Kaboom and an older model off eBay if one comes up cheap...
-
No order in particular.
B3
Red ink
Blank bat
SS
GN
H4L
Aldred
Another Laver. I've gone down the old school design with the Bradman next it would be the other end of the scale... Full blown massive edges massive profile.
-
Spyder Legend, Blueroom Bombora, GM Icon - I think 3 is a realistic limit for the year.

Monster that Morgan bat, must be seriously low density to get it that big at a usable weight!

Love the Neapolitan reference mind!
That bat looks an absolute beast.

I still miss the GN100 ( if remember properly) signed and given by Martin Crowe to my cousin.
David warner`s bat is not bad to have;)
-
I do not need a new bat, I must not buy a new bat.
However, just hypothetically of course, were I to get another bat, these two would be at the top of the wish list.
-
i've just got 1 on my wish list & its an aldred butterfly 1 in the velocity profile.
-
I agree with a lot of what's been said one of the lads at our club has a nice looking f18,
As for bats I want but will try not to buy,
H4l warbirds agree it looks the business but who doesn't love the name and I'm a Trekkie fan, (Sad I know)
Gn500, have hot an old scoop offline and that looks nice,
Kook onyx like the shape saw one in Aus and wish I got it so may try not to buy it :-[
That's about it however our South African lad has Dp kit and a gun bat the hybrid version,

That is ludicrous, it literally looks like someone has stuck two bats together haha!
-
Our dollars weak at the moment, we seem to be sending a fair bit to the UK again now. Not sure how these bats would go against some of the garbage balls that get used over there, even the batter ones are harder than our Kooka stuff, couldn't see a massive life span for them, even at 2.13-14.
-
I agree NB, it's almost too big.

Our league balls are quite soft. Especially after about 10overs. We've complained a few times as they sometime hav to be changed early on cos there not round.
Doubt I'd still open with a Warner bat though. Just go in for last 15 with it when the balls soft!
Or just mount to on my wall. Lol
-
That Kaboom is tremendous! How much do these sell for skip? Just a nice weight too
-

@skip1973
Id like to make one of those kaboom bats.
Can you give me the spec .... is it flat on the toe and concaved at all??
-
Looks ever so slightly concaved, will this need an oversized cleft @GarrettJ do you think?
-
I do want one David Warner's Gray Nicolls bat..
-
2.11
Says 2.13. Just above the first picture.
-
In no particular order:
1) RPC Heritage
2) Salix SLX Players
3) Norfolk Bats Minx22
4) H4L Warbird
In fact, if I got any one of these I'll be a happy man.
-

The edges are say 50mm so could probably get away with a 65mm spine based on that photo.
hopefully @skip1973 can give me the dimensions

I've managed to find a Warner replica in stock and ordered it. The exchange rate is pretty good.
Apparently it's being knocked in and delivered in two days.
-
I'd love a Warner bat just to hang on my wall and admire but I don't have that amount of spare disposable cash :/

That kaboom looks an absolute beast!! :o
