Saw this and thought it was ridiculous and funny (http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h440/butsy1723/FB_IMG_1448609571287_zpsu20mpskr.jpg) (http://s1109.photobucket.com/user/butsy1723/media/FB_IMG_1448609571287_zpsu20mpskr.jpg.html)

imagine Clive Llyod Viv or Barry Richards with one of them

Clever photography works wonders doesn't it. Spot the problem with this photo.
-
warners bat is much closer to the camera?

It's Lou Carpenter from Neighbours!

Yup, spotted the couple of tricks in there too. Slightly annoying!
-
funny thing is the presumption is the massive bat-I cant believe it is actually that big thou- would be better to score runs with
But it wouldn't of mattered to Barry Richards. He was that good.
And Viv of course
:)

Yep, as I'm guessing Barry Richards didn't use a size 5! There seems a concerted campaign from former players against modern bats lately, strange given that zero current cricketers see any problems with them.
-
Although it is clever photography there's still no doubting the massive difference between the two!
-
well Barry Richards used a 2lbs 5-6 bat and Warners is 2lbs12-13.
6-7oz of willow is a massive amount of timber.

Even with the bigger bat being in the foreground, it does not make that much of a difference in the edge and spine size, more so with the length, it looks longer is all

You're right, dimensions only work in one direction... d'oh.

this is a bit anal but aren't the powers that be about the bring out a regulation on 'depth' ?
or did I mis read that......

Also, the distance that the arms can hold are small, so makes no difference in my eyes

They were discussing it but then decided against it based on a study conducted for the MCC by ICL. They made the right decision but it was based on poor evidence and a lack of understanding of what makes a cricket bat perform.
They're painting themselves into a corner slowly but surely.

Well you say that, but if the correct lens is selected, it can also make a difference.

Actually, after a few scotches, they now look identical in size... :-[
