Anyone see the zimmers bat snap in half :L after a roach yorker, looked nasty. Dont think a refurb will sort that one out!!!!!
-
Bit of glue and some tape mate will be good as new!
-
He looked pretty distraught about it :L, especially considering he was out too!! looking at it as he walked off. He did well to make 95 with it!!
-
got any pics???
I was once batting with someone who played a forward defensive and the bat just snapped in two... I assume something similar has just happened?
-
Yeah just below the spice clean into 2 parts!
-
I'd be hating it if it was mine, but suppose he'll just get another one from his sponsor! This happened to nayone on here?
-
Awesome footage seeing that snap!
-
yeah looked like he hit the floor with it which casued it to break whilst trying to block the yorker....pick both parts of ur bat up and trundle off 5 short of ur tonne!
-
This happened to nayone on here?
Not personally, but got a bat here that it has happened to, and somehow repaired.
-
better to be 5 short of your ton, than being on 5 though!! Look on the brightside!
-
Happened to me with a nitro :( I only made 15 though :D
-
he was bowled and the bat snaped? I have to see this. Didnt a NZ bat snap during a game against england a couple years ago?
-
Rob keys did aswell as i remember....
-
good advert for gray nics !
-
Yeah! Is it a bad thing that a gn handle wobbled on live tv?
-
That that is common, but we only see it because it's slow mo. I have the pictures if rob keys bat, he pushed it to mid on and the bat broke when sliding it in. McCullams bat already had a huge crack in the bat
-
not the best picture as snapped it off the TV but you get the picture (so to speak)

That bat is hugeee, i remember thinking that at the time.
But to be fair, rob key is also huge!!!!!!!!!
-
The Zim players bat broke most likely due to a fault when spliced, Key's most likely the low density sped up the willow fault, sap is glue.
-
on a different note, i go to rob keys old school, just thought I would throw that out there
-
My first bat, a GM Purist 606, snapped like Flintoff's did, right up the blade :( I loved that bat
-
Both are GN bats
-
Are they really Cover_Drive???
-
Mr Keys isn't.....
-
they both have lovley gn stickers on, but I doubt for some reason key uses a GN
-
He has been using them last season, but he wasn't happy and used another bat maker.
-
Denly has moved to Kooka, Swann to GM, Anderson to Goose, has Key gone anywhere or still a GN boy?
-
He is sponsored by GN.
-
Gn have lost some players but they have kept the england skipper and the current skipper as well
-
Most big Brands are cutting back the number of players and their sponsorship money quite hard.
-
prioritizing?
-
those two bats are a real mess. I remember Collingwood broke 3 SX Ultimates in the 05 tour in Pakistan. The last one split in half from toe to the splice.

At scarborough a few years back he could only say great things about them, quality and service wise. Whether this has changed over the past year i do not know
