Hi,
While I was in Pakistan I picked up few MB Malik LEs and here is one of them which I am keeping. This bat is custom made and was made according to my specifications. Here is what I had asked for;
- Oval handle
- Big profile with long sweetspot
- Clean face with no or very little blemishes
- Light pickup with a good balance
- Around 2.7-2.9 lbs weight range
- 9+ grains
At the end I got what I had asked for. Overall I am very satisfied and am happy with the stick that I have got. I got in touch with MB Malik owner who did everything as I had told him.
So I will let the pictures do justice.
Feel free to ask any question(s) you have
Enjoy!

Nice looking bat, what big houses you have......
Who did you speak to at Malik???
-
them houses dont look like a place in england :S
that bat looks like it has some nice thick edges (Y)
-
Hmmm - using my photographic methods on a few of those!
And looks as though you're also using the Sillyshilley method of the window sill topic with the house background!
Seriously though chap - looks decent size for the weight! Hope it goes well for you. 8)
-
one word: lush! where did the others go?
-
pete, are you going to sue the bat off him for copyright infringement? ;)

Actually I am in Canada.

I apologize if you or SS didn't like it. If you wish I can remove them and post straightforward pictures? Its just I was inspired with them :(
Thanks mate!

Nowhere yet!

Guys just to let you know I also bought Bubber Sher pads and gloves. Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing them.
-
That looks like a beast, never really been keen on the MB stickers though, or the bat names.
-
thought it didnt look like england ;)
-
I do know Zulfiqar, very well..... I hope he did you a good deal.

i have been annoying asad everyday about them! pm me price and specs please.
-
As it is a decent looking bat, then I guess we can let the photographic infringement go on this occasion!
If there had of been a furry rug or a white cricket jumper involved then I would have taken that very badly! :(
Knock it in well fella, and it'll do you well.
-

Oh! Well he is a top bloke and it was pleasure talking to him. Indeed he did give me a good deal both in terms of price and quality. Personally I was really impressed by his service. He had assured me that I won't be displeased and he was right. Am looking forward to deal with him in future.
If I remember correctly he was who gave you Afridi's MB bat, right?
-

Oops sorry. There was a typo. I am not selling them whatsoever. It was just a typo (sorry mate). However, if you want to see pictures I'll make a thread of them as well.

Thank you for being kind sir :)
Good thing I don't have any white cricket jumper.
-
this is a great looking bat. wasnt a fan of malik bats initially - but love the profile on this. i will drop by at some point to check the other two out!
-
I really do like the profile on the Bubbers
-
Nice looking bat mate hope it does the job for you!
-
so was this custom made for you or one of the 3 that you needed help choosing from?
Looks a nice bat with a decent profile for the weight :)

Actually I never ordered the three bats together. I first ordered this one and had given him all of my specs. My other bats were followed after recieving this bat. In other words, other two were ordered once I had ordered this one for myself. So other two turned out to be great bats as well so it made me 'undecided'.
Let me know if it doesn't make sense
Thanks!

wow, looks like you live in a very nice area!

Enjoy! Feel free to ask any question
-
Are these LE's widely available - ie, can one get one in the UK?
-
Both look stunning! How is the Newbery coming along? Is there any diffrence in price between these two models as the profile and quality of willow is more or less identical?!

Newbery is a great bat. It goes really well and everything is exceptional in that bat.
Yes, there is a big price difference among these two bats. Bubber Sher retails for something around GBP whereas Bubber Sher Limited Edition retails for something around GBP. As far willow goes there is a notable difference. Perhaps one of the reason why my Bubber Sher willow looks more or less same as Bubber Sher L.E. could be because when I got my Bubber Sher it was top of the line bat and Bubber Sher L.E. didn't exist at that time whereas now they have somewhat demoted the willow quality of regular Bubber Sher's.
Hope it make sense.
-

Uhmm I don't think anyone in UK has it yet. Although it isn't widely available in Pakistan either. Some store doesn't know about this bat either.
-
There are a couple different types of Bubber Sher for sale ie export and import quality but the Limited Edition you have is a stunning bat and is undoubtedly top quality.
-
If there's anyone here interested in buying a Bubber Sher or a Bubber Sher L.E., your best bet is by contacting armie.
He can fix you up with some very very good prices.
I think Malik do very good laminates.
I tend do get away with it!!!
-
Bubber Sher LE is available at Malik shop in slough
-
Where abouts is the shop in Slough?
I am due to be around that area on Wednesday, so may just pop in and have a look!! 8)
-
Make sure you go to the right one Pete - there's 2 in the area. i find they are also expensive for Malik bats.
-
Have a look at some of the MB Bubber Sher bats we have in stock.
Regards
asad

Thats not big enough fella!
The BES standard is actually 38-39mm!
So hunt harder for that bigger coin fella! ;)
-
Pardon me sir. Afraid to ssay that is the biggest Canadian coin though.
On a serious note. I will have a look around my travel bag and house to look for British coins :D
-
Alright here you go guys. Found a old 25p coin which is around 38-39 mm;
