If it makes me hit the ball as far as Gayle then it's worth £1000  :D

I wonder if it will give you the ability to talk smoothly to women and ask them on dates as well?

you see a lot of this memorabilia tat pushed on channel 9 during the cricket commentary. Signed photo by x - only 50 photocopied and shoved in an Ikea £5 frame, yours for just £500...

Probably not even a decent bat, just a heavy cleft shaped a bit like Gayles.

its genius really if you think about it

They sat round a table thinking

"how can we sell these dog ugly bats that no one would buy??"
"I know get a few players to use a spray painted bat in one innings then spray all these planks and sell them as EXCLUSIVE LTD EDITION"

GENIUS

I hear there is also a Chris Gayle audio tape ‘Universe Boss Chatzz’ that comes free with the first 50 sold…

With Barry White playing softly in the background.

" Product Description
Chris Gayle unleashed his gold Spartan bat during the Renegades’ victory over Brisbane Heat in the 2015 Big Bash League. This gold bat took the world by storm, as it is something the game has never seen before!"


Hehe.

I did not hear about this monstrosity until this thread was started.

No thanks. If I wanted a high performance bat, I know where to get one. M&H. CA. Laver. Never Spartan.

Armed guard? Bad service! Why not a swimsuit model or a cheer leader.

Just out of interest; if there were 2 bats made in the same factory, would the stickers applied to them impact performance? I can't SSee a TON of differences between M&H bats vs Spartan other than the stickers ;)

Does it say "don't blush baby" anywhere on the stickers?

You are willing to pay 2000 dollars?

Also, this insinuation about M&H being stickered SS is silly. Do you have any proof? Or just lot of free keyboard time?

The provenance of most/all of their bats has been pretty common industry knowledge for a couple of years now. It doesn't need a rocket scientist to notice the change to Skinny handles, poor(er) finishing and more recently; overly big edges in reasonable weights. - All traits of the subcontinent.

There's much more to it than that of course, unfortunately that's not for public consumption.

Not for public consumption you say. Come back and talk when you HAVE something for public consumption.

Mirishantanam and Harisingha make their bats now...it was a good way to switch manufacturers without having to change the M&H logo.

Don't really want to get into this now.

But I'd like to think we are a relatively trusted retailer, so when we say something based on our thorough research, but sadly cannot share that information because of legal liabilities, I hope people believe us!
