@Vitas Cricket - can you tell me anything about the T20 classic, I was looking at images of one yesterday. Is it a short blade / long handled jobbie or just a big old lump of G4 wood?

Ever so slightly shorter blade, we are talking 1cm tops.

@Jaffa I took the plastic off just before the photos to bounce a ball on it, goes v well

It's a fair price for a very good looking bats might shock some people but it's only going to get more expensive each year especially willow like that  :)

That's cheaper than equivalent M&H model bat to be fair  ;)
You can't really control what the brands charge you and their trade RRP! Good to see that you are trying to keep prices as reasonable as you can.

My understanding of the situation is as follows. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong though!
There is a UK distributor for Ton who decides on the range and design for the UK market. This is who all UK stocks are imported by and distributed to the retailers.  VKS have an agreement or special arrangement where they are able to deal with SS directly. Hence the different models and branding they have available.

Exactly that.
