Nice gray nics there!
-
Great spot!
-
Gray nicolls stamp on the side edge?
-
Yeah he was using them in the bbl too and over in America as well. Just keen on hat monster shape it would seem
-
I noticed it was a warner shape. Lind too.
-
I thought it was a Warner shape!

Similar discussion took place in December

More pics of the SS wit gray nics edge stamp in there.
It leads to a question/ stroke theory. Warner had these bats originally, Khawaja borrowed one and now has his own, Lynn has a few. Sangakarra has a few.
Is it getting to a point that gray nics australia(correct me if its not kranzbular) are currently the best bat maker in the world? And these bats are becoming more and more sought after?
-
This is the bat that Shane Warne was brandishing for their all star tour in America. Sanga used that bat and it has a distinct shape. The is a gray nicolls big bat.

Warne hands the bat to Sachin at 11:34 mark.

Seems that way but then again, its pretty much fact that it would be stupid for a club cricketer to buy one of these as they are so so dry!

I have one sat in my spare room. It's no drier than any of my affinitys, b3s, lavers etc.

Are we talking out replicas or a physical bat that he uses in tests?

You're saying you have got bat like that from gray Nicholls. Where can I buy it!?

Replicas made to exact Warner spec. and quirks like medical tape instead of twine on the handle and an inch shorter, extremely thin handle. Massive bow, too. :D

Doesnt he have his at something silly like 2lb10/11?

Warners original kabooms were 2.10 ish.
But It was noted in an interview he believed these bigger ones were that light, but someone weighed one and it was a few oz heavier than he'd realised. But the pick up was so good he never noticed in matches.
Kawajha(who borrowed one of Warners bats, which he broke) said in a bbl interview regarding the large bats, that he'd hit the gym as he really wanted to use one of these monsters. He then flexed a video and said "guns mean runs"
Back to Warner, as Katanga, Lynn and Santa have the big ones, but his do look noticeable smalle, maybe when he realised they was heavier it had a placebo and he no longer liked them so had a redesign to bring the weight back down??
-
They probably use dry clefts for his bats which shave off couple of ounces. Or, thanks to his muscles, he thinks his bat weighs 2-11 but is actually 2-13 (which is what mine weighs). The one that I have was made by Stuart Kranzbuhler who makes Warner's bats.
