It is dead - however for the benefit of our Aussie brethren, that was a shameful, pathetic, arrogant and naïve attempt at test cricket.
 If Baz and Stokes want to 'entertain' cricket fans they want to wake up and smell the f**king roses.

Bazball is a switch you turn on and off to win matches - you play test cricket when you need to and you hit the turbo button when you need to. Duckett, Root, Brook and Stokes should know how to bat in that situation, and should be ashamed of themselves - 3.5 an over is fine thanks and getting 300 ahead would've won the match. It's a statement game ahead of the series, instead the Aussies are laughing at us and we need to do all the running from now.

Stupid, stupid, stupid and a golden opportunity missed - you have dropped a huge steaming pie in the biggest series of most of your careers!!!!

I realise that.

But each time the ashes roll round i log on here to read you guys bemoan the disappointment that is English cricket. The wishful optimism that inevitably turns to outright distain directed at your own players is one of the highlights of the series and brings me great joy.

But where is it???

Im waiting….

Yeah, interesting that. I think it's 'easier' to just to say full profile when there's like a mm or 2 of concaving. I'd class that as a bat with minimal concaving personally, but it can be confusing as I'd also think of a bat with minimal concaving as 'quite full'. I'd say that convex (Newbery Tour, SS Jumbo), concave (M&H CK22, GM Icon) and plane (GM Brava, Newbery Mjolnir - at least some) are 3 definitions that could be used for what you see when looking up from the toe, and the 'fullness' of this is more for the degree in which wood is present between spine and edge.


'Indian full' is a term that a batmaker I know uses, which is a homage to the SS/SG style of 'full profile' shapes, where they had this very minimal concave. (Ranges like the SG Sierra, and the old SS LE Players profiles)

Can anyone help me out with this. I've seen a number of bat makers; Keeley, H4l for example; advertise their bats as full profile in shape. Yet they distinctly look concave and not convex. Is there a difference between what they consider full profile and a fully convex shape?

Sometimes it could just be the angle/lighting too that might be what makes it seem like this. Your best option would be to ask directly what they mean when they say this. If you're looking to buy from the Keeley flash sales though, you might find that the bats sell before you get an answer to your question
