Haha I got to sit in a dressing room with him and the lads in Perth last week at the Festival of Cricket. He's got an ageing profile (; Brian Lara gave me a nod and Symonds grunted hello. Was the greatest moment of my life!

Good lord i wish i can get ahold of a scat or even a get a replica made by someone like red ink or aldred.

I've been lucky enough to get to wave that one round.
I think it's about 2lb13 off the top of my head, and the pickup was very good. It is an excellently balanced bat, and the handle shape is simply one of the best I've ever felt!

Hi,
What is the weight of this beauty? I love this shape! It is such a shame that there is no one of carry forward Julian Millichamp's legacy forward!

It is a huge profile and the grip is a very heavy thick one. The handle itself is thicker than normal and very oval for the bottom hand - in fact, as Cam said, the handle is a fantastic shape! I removed the grip and it is 2'11.3!! I am actually tempted to remove the sheet (where Adam signed it) as it would be under 2'11!
Obviously a light grip would add an ounce to it, but that is a VERY usable weight! :o

And yes....it is an absolute tragedy that JM's technical skills were not passed on directly! :(

I suspect the origins of the 1271 and indeed Trott handle set from JM in some roundabout way
