Just read this on Cricinfo'
''Sachin Tendulkar has scored 13 hundreds with this bat, according to Sunil Gavaskar''
It is quite interesting to see how much Sachin cares about a bat. If you do a bit research you will notice that Sachin uses this same bats only in games not in nets. This is the same bat with which Sachin scored double century in ODI.
I am not sure but if Sachin believe so much in a bat then I would say this bat is really on its last leg. Even if Sachin gets a refurb the bat will not be same at all.
This bat doesn't have enough life to be used against New Zealand.

Made by BAS...

And as he is still using it its still going strong and the damage you see wont effect performance at all.

Ah okay cheers mate!
This one has Hammer Edge as well but is made by BAS
-
I bet it flies! I reckon he tests dozens of bats in the nets, but uses the Creme de la creme for Matches.
-
Yup! If you see his other pictures such as nets you will notice he doesn't use the same bat in nets.
Just like Warney wouldn't bowl in nets...

Warne didn't bowl in nets?
-
The bat has enough life in it to hit 2 big 6's in 1 over!
-
Warne didn't bowl in nets?
Someone told me that he wouldn't bowl in nets because he didn't want to waste his wicket taking delivery.
-
Warne was not a fan of training full stop or coaches well certain ones
-
Never knew that. Imagined him as the sort of guy who would spend hours upon hours in the nets.
-
I remeber warne saying during the 09 ashes as a comminator that he doesant beilve in warm ups
-
Maybe something to learn here from the little master: if you get a good'un, keep it until it's unusable!
-
He obviously gets on very well with this bat and it does what he wants it to do
why on earth would he use another one?
Because it had the latest stickers?
If you get a good bat keep it until it literally falls
apart
of you don't you are plainly stupid or have too much pocket money
-
It's a bit of a pet hate of mine that people quite often sell bats on here that supposedely have the most amazing ping ever - well, if it's that good keep it!
-
True. I had a junior ballistic 5000- only gave up on it when it really didn't get off the square; seems like sachin is just very clever all-round!!
-
The hammer edge sheet has had a shocker on that bat...

Couldn't agree with him more. Any preperation for a game should have been done beforehand in terms of fielding/batting. The only excuse is for bowlers picking ends and bowling before a match with the keeper.
If you're fielding at slip, do you really need to warm up? Perhaps catch 4/5 balls, otherwise nothing.

So you're basically saying you would rather go into a match without stretching, having a few throwdowns or bowling a bit and increasing your chance of injuring yourself? Thats the whole point of warm ups, to prevent injuries...

No, I meant that there is no point in batting/fielding drills other than catching. I never said that there shouldnt be a warm up; I think it is essential for all outfielders but is it really relevant to slip fielders? I said that all preperation should be done before a game in terms of fielding/batting etc.
-
at the end of the day warne is one of the greatest of all time so knew what he needed to to stay at the top us mere mortals may need to do more

I think it's all individual. I know that my first over as a bowler will be far better if I've had one or two overs to warm up in the nets so that I am flowing. Some may get on better without that.

If that was the case then why do all international and franchise sides spend so much time on it? Preparation is just as psychological as it is physiological, a routine builds confidence

We had a long conversation with Jimmy Adams on this topic when we were in Jamaica, as he had been playing T20 in the UK . His comment was that for T20 you can turn up and slap it around a bit. You don't really need a warm up. 50 overs it was probably worth it and test match when it could be 90 it was absolutely worth it.
-
Again I'm not referring to International or professional players, but club players.
-
I think it's really a case of each to their own. I've played enough games with the same group of players to see that warming up really makes very little difference to their performance and match practice makes a huge difference.
-
At middlesex we have like a 45 minute warm up, bascis stretching etc. feilding drill then the bowlers have a bowl , and the batsmen have a hit, I think its just the physcoligical factor, i.e ur all part of a team and working together pre-game, so in game u stay more as a team.

Not a fan of stretching before sports, loosens muscles so you loose a % of the power you would get from the usual reactions if they were tight

If I don't stretch before I play a sport I break!!
