Title: Sanga's new bat
Post by: Wickets-then-runs on December 29, 2015, 08:54:44 AM
Brisbane Heat are playing the Hobart Hurricane's tonight: over the last couple of days Chris Lynn and Sanga have been getting on pretty well and now in this evenings game, Sanga is using a new profile that looks remarkably like Lynn's, Kawaja's and Warners... Seems he is a bat nerd like us!

I'm sure that getting every single one of his bats, and even their bats for free.. They are all more than likely willing to 'try' out everyone else's variations. Saying that, the shorter format is a big boys game and to help just that little bit more and the willow in their hands will sure help if its a tree trunk!

He loves GN, I have one of his rejects from a previous trip to Australia sitting around somewhere, he even signed it for me.

Did he sticker up the new profile with SS stickers?

Does this make Sanga an SS walt..... the world is getting increasingly confusing when people start stickering other bats as SS.  :-[

I was at the all stars game in Houston, T.X. Mid innings Sanga switched to a monstrous GN bat. I was surprised that he used a GN while under contract with SS.
I am 100% sure this is that bat.

Definitely a shorter blade. I saw him using the same bat in practice nets at LA for all-stars game. Looked like a T20 bat featuring Warner's profile. I am not sure if he used it in the match though ...

From Pic2 and Pic3 its quite clear ... A Gray Nics plastered as SS.

Sanga tried Shane Warne's bats during All Stars nets and then took it to the middle during one of the games.

Now either gotten new labels on it or picked a few new ones during his BBL/Australia visit

Definitely looks smaller blade - To me it looks a bit thinner face too
