Didn't really need another bat for next year but couldn't resist when our Indian pro offered me this.

Specs:

Weight- 2lb 9.5
Edges- 38mm
Grains - 10 straight.

Its made in Meerut.

Out pro has good connections with sreesanth and he sourced fifteen bats through him.

He assures me they are top notch and I can't help but agree never seen an Indian bat so well finished.

Does not look like a Indian profile. More like the profiles you find on Pak made bats like CA or AS etc.

Did you change the grip tape as the black and white grip tape generally suggests a Pak made bat.

Looks good though and a good buy for around £100.

Which club do you play for mate? Who is your pro?

Vipinlal manikoth Worksop cc.

It is an Indian made bag though, not a Pakistani bat.

That was just my observation based on the grip tape. Not saying it a Pak made bat.

How much did you actually pay for this?

£130.

Happy with that as it is top class.

Any idea who made the bat. Looks similar to a profile on the Matrrixx website.

^Sreesanth is (until recently) a Matrrixx user, so that makes sense.^

Maybe I am not sure I just know it came through sreesanth from a factory in meerut.

Sreesanth + Meerut  = Matrrixx

Would be good to see a picture ofthe top of the handle mate
