Post by: harry kovert on January 15, 2011, 07:06:50 PM: bizarre....that's my take on it...how can any bat....unless it's made of gold be sold for £1000

a fool and his money are easily parted springs to mind

Post by: yvk3103 on January 15, 2011, 07:09:30 PM: Definitely not going for it even if I had the money to.

Rather go for a L&W Signature (more value for money) or put money on a charity auction like one being carried out by Surrey CC (meet the players, watch the game and get a top end players own kit)

Post by: ppccopener on January 15, 2011, 07:24:25 PM: I thought the gray nichols legend at £320.00 took the biscuit but this tops it.
I hope none of them sell and the special limited edition finishes at number zero.

they give bats to the pro's so I wonder who they expect to buy this....
perhaps someone who wants a nice case

Post by: petehosk on January 15, 2011, 08:40:54 PM: 1k for a bat? Even I have limits!

I would be tempted to try out the Laver offer of £900, but that is for a Private Bin G1 bat as a net bat, then the creme de la creme bat in willow terms of the Signiture! Plus other bits and pieces.
Would be interested to know what Newbery offer for the £1k!!! Whether it's just the single bat, or if they offer a full package?
