No wonder he smashed that streaker!
He's a unit, I'd have thought his bats would be on the weighty side.
-
Then again Hayden was using a 2lb10 and he isn't small

Tom is he really specific with bats or just uses anything that goes well?
Would you sell it?

Quite specific yes, I had to collect this to get it copied as he didn't like the shape/pickup of the 2 I gave him last week (I got them made from memory!)
Most of the players though don't specify much more than a bow, is a decent size, goes nicely and picks up well.
And no, if we ever do sell a Hayden/Symonds bat it will be in a charity auction or it may go to a museum. One of Hayden's MMi3s is in a display cabinet in the Lord's museum.

if you dont mind me asking, how good is the pay in the cricket industry? what is your job/job title in mongoose and is your pay commission based or salaried?
you dont have to answer these but thanks for the pics!
-
What a wimp!
(don't tell him I said that though)
Nice Bat.
-
It's weird to see such big blokes using light bats symonds 2lb8 Hayden 2lb10 plus pollard 2lb10 then gayle at 3lb different styles I guess
-
not realy i'am 6ft 8in and 20 stone and i use a 2lb 6oz
-
Cmon Dave tell the truth your not quite fully grown yet I think you need a few more days in the greenhouse
-
ok maybe around 5ft 8in and 11 stone looks a good bat tom i would have thought it might be the age of the people hayden and co using lighter bats
-
Ah good theory I seem to remember mr irani using a 4lb bat in a t 20 before even I would stubble with that
-
Most players will lighten their bats at the end of their careers, Tendulkar has dropped 5 ounces in 5 years and he is still at the top of his game so players like Hayden and Symonds who are purely staying on for the IPL cash will need every aid possible.
I like the profile of Symonds bat, it looks like a number of bats I've seen from Australian players, big lower edges and toe.

Interesting Tom, the side sticker has an indian website, you know your biggest market!
-
Well they outnumber us by quite a few in india and cricket is played everywhere out there which is prob why they have so much up and coming talent!

Another nice bat!
-
Mccullums? and looks grade 3 funny how not a lot of forum members will have anything other than g1!
-
the bat looks nice, but the optical illusion on the two different roofs and the hand rail is messing with my eyes...!
-
Gilchrist's
-
Is this another one for the display purposes or are you using this?
Colesy - I've only just looked at your picture properly and realised what it is, awesome film.
-
Lol I love The Hangover :D
-

One for the wall, I think!

It looks as though it still has some 6's left in it, just one gentle net can't hurt?
