Off topic, but if Tom sees this. The picture of Dwayne Smith 'Tweeted' by you guys earlier, is the MMi the standard one, as the blade look to be longer with a shorter handle?

Dwayne uses a 1" longer blade in both bats.

Found this on my old phone from October 2008....Think it was one of the first prototypes and before mongoose formed?!

Correct, it was codenamed the "Albert Trott Bat" at this point.

Why was it codenamed after DelBoys grandad??

Think the handle has been widened at the bottom since to blend in with the bat a bit more...was certainly interesting giving it a try out initially prior to the media launch at lords and mongoose being thrust into the headlights.

is that the smallest of splices on the bat? ???

Title: Re: mongoose
Post by: Tom on March 05, 2010, 04:58:08 PM

As has been said previously the bat is spliced in the tried and tested manner, it has just been strategically moved out of the hitting area on both bats. So yes that is the remnants of the splice.
