Managed to bat for a bit longer than a t20, guess that’s a bonus.

A very t20 feeling sort of a line up.

Hopefully, a useful tour to get some experience for the changing squad. Agree WI could (should?) win this.

White ball tour starts today.
The England record in the Windies is dreadful, plus our team is in transition, so I have the Windies as strong favourites.

Will be an interesting tour, if one which I won't get to see any of as I don't have tnt.

Radio commentary on talk sport.

@hell4leather cricket for me.

I hope Matt continues to produce bats for as long as I am playing.

Me too, also Chase.

Anyone found out if the handle breaks if it’s just a. Standard 12 month warranty or will be honoured for longer . And if longer costs involved ..

You obv won’t be able to take it to any bat maker to fix …

Blank Bats - I liked them, especially the B20 - wish I'd never got rid of it.

Ryan Kelsall made a very good bat, as does the Northern Monkey!

Blank bats is another brand that doesn't get much airtime recently I've found, but still running and offering the B20 shape it seems from their website. Is it still the same looking shape that you were thinking of?

Think an Oxfordshire bat might be on the list for next season given the recommendations on this thread (and other posts).

I found this GM Diamond in storage at our club, is this what you are thinking of? Hopefully the link works.

I also loved the Dynadrive, was desperate for one after watching Lara use it at the 1992 WC :)

Thanks @Tomp -  that's a nice looking bat! The one I'm thinking of was very similar, but had a diamond cutout scoop at the back (think GN scoop but the scoop and profile is all angular). Haven't seen many of that scooped version out there since the 90s, but looked nice in the shops back in the day.

Me too, it was Lara, Gus Logie, Jimmy Adams, maybe David Boon at one stage(?), plus our best batter in our school team had one, and sent one flying over the pavillion once. That was it, I was in love #firstlove!  :D
