Title: £39 Ebay bargain
Post by: csnew on December 10, 2015, 09:33:52 PM

So managed to pick this up from ebay for £39 (including postage).
Weight 2lb 8
Pings pretty nicely
Concaved to an inch of its life.
12-13 grains
all in all not bad for a brand new bat at that price

Looks like its made in India - probably RNS by the amount of concaving. I've had a couple of Optimax bat's when they were UK made, always minimal concaving and pinged like monsters.

Didn't Flintoff bat with these briefly in the Big Bash? Or did I dream it...

Is it my imagination, or does this bat have specks on the face, like it's been out/used in the rain?

It's definitely got some water marks on it. Funny just on the face and not on the back. Really needs a good oil. Not had a chance to do so!
