Title: Kumar Sangakkara Gray Nics
Post by: App999 on November 15, 2015, 12:40:45 PM
Not sure if this has been discussed before but is Sangakarra using the same profile as Warner? Looks like a fusion of Warners big edge bat and his high spine small edge bat.

I tweeted this last week. It's the Aussie version GN Fusion - Similar to Matty Hayden's

Must be custom player profile because the fusion bats are a different shape??? Maybe just fusion stickers?

Absolutely a monster of a bat. Sangakkara said Shane had a monster of a bat and let him use it.

Looks similar to the Aldred Spectre shape to me

Looks very similar indeed. The GN however is on steroids. Wonder if aldred has any oversized/supersized clefts and can produce a larger version of his spectre players. Might have to hit him up.

They were, that is exact shape of the Warner replicas we sold. Massive bats that picked up much lighter than 2.14.

Jealous. Looks a cracker. I cant justify paying 900aud for it though which is currently the cheapest I can find.

What's the B3 going to set you back in AU$ if you don't mind me asking, exchange rate is pretty rough at the moment.

Yeah exchange rate and delivery from UK is a killer at the moment but I was willing to pay as I was desperate and Ive only heard good things about B3. Cost me 770 for a G1.

Specs:

33.5mm edge
79.5mm spine
2.14-2.15

I opted for the other warner profile with a couple of tweaks


I'm going to try and source Sangakarras bat that he used in the all stars game as a backup bat.

It's will be difficult to source that bat as it was Shane Warnes bat which Sangakkara was using.

Yes it will be difficult but I'm sure it can be custom made to specs using an oversized/supersized cleft. Weight will be the issue here unless it is extremely concaved. If you look at Adam voges Grove bat profile, it is similar to Warnes as well but a little smaller.

Voges current bat is bigger than this though but same profile
