My old man picked this up off the bay of E for a measly 35 notes, cant complain of that. And he likes it and says it goes well
Ill see what the bat looks like after the lovely stickers are off and under the layer upon layer of oil
More pics to follow :)

You mean apart from the fact it's not a real Kook lol

I've always wanted a Ricky Pounting kahuna ;)
-
What a classic! Haha :D

this explains why this is "limited edition"

Not looking like a bargain any more...oops
-
this is quality, we needed a bit of light hearted relief
do you think they have tried to read his signature and just 'interpreted' the last name?
:)

I miss the Diablo stickers

Best topic for a while!! Made me giggle!
And if the bat turns out to actually play ok, then for £35 you can still use it as a net bat without feeling too ripped off!

it's no wonder they got the name wrong. The signature looks like 2 hot air balloons in a field.
@FattusCattus is going to have hours of fun with this thread.

No matter what it looks like, make sure you make no references about anything non cricket related, Hanif might get bored if you do that...

Is this a butterfly (I'm not reall 100% sure what one is entirely) or just a knot?

I can't believe it's gone !!!!! :)
-
It's a knot. And that looks like storm damage along the toe next to it. Apart from that, it doesn't look that bad. Probably very dry too. All in all, I wager it's not long for this life. If your old man scores a ton with it, it'll be worth it, though.
-
Oh NO! The lovely Ricky
Pounting Ponting stickers have all gone! :o
-
I really had to think long and hard whether or not to take them off, was a toughy!!
I've just sanded the face with 60 grit paper at the moment, so it's far from done just yet!!
Was hoping for a hidden butterfly, they seem all the rage at the moment!! :D

Ah well we had some fun...or a serious note, do you expect or has the bat retained some ping? Or springiness.
I've got an old bat coming soon and about to do a little refurb. It could be dead of course I've taken the chance
Thanks...

By no means is it a players grade g1 gun but it's got some life in it still, it scored a few 40s and 30s last year
To be honest I never expected it to be brilliant, I enjoy doing the refurbs and did if for a bit of fun. Thought you guys would enjoy the chuckle as well!!

For anyone who even gives half a toss what this is coming along like

A few more grades of sanding to go, then, after someone mentioned storm damaged, I might sticker it up as a M&H and sell it for £250!!
-
Its coming along nicely!!
:)
-
Looks cracking that, coming along very well.

Final product, just to wrap up this thread :D

My old man used it on Saturday, second top scored with 13 not out. We'll see how she goes :)
