Post by: RichW on August 25, 2010, 02:27:26 PM

i have the fish vs whale debate many times on a saturday night i can assure u....what looks like a fish from the bar may become a whale when u get closer ;) the bat is called a marlin tho in fairness.

It must be a different model but a continuation of the aquatic theme. I'll start the "guess the name game." My bet is on Orca.

I thought it was Napier who caught the marlin. Maybe they both did but I dont get why foster is using it aswel, he has always used the venom. Why warsop would go through all that trouble in designing a new sticker because pettini/napier caught one on tour ?????

Post by: Colesy on August 25, 2010, 04:03:07 PM
Foster isn't using a Marlin, using something else

The bat pictured is a "Whale", it is not for sale as it was made on request by the player, it is linked to the "Marlin" stickers made for Napier who caught one while on holiday.

Yes - 4 small children, but they were armed with small inflatables.

Spain was bloody marvellous, and I can't recommend it enough.

We are really lucky to play cricket all year round here in Malaga and Gibraltar.
