love the grains on this one



not a fan of the squarish toe though

[justnotcricket86]

KP's Pellera has a very square toe and I commented on that the other day. Probably made by the same guys, although I am probably wrong. I know SG make Kooks and KP get's his from India...sure someone will wade in and tell me how wrong I am though

[Talisman]

You are spot on, I hear Paul Bradbury has not made any bats for players for a long time.

[justnotcricket86]

Mike - do I detect sarcasm there? Or was I actually right about something for a change??

PS - I have just emailed you about the Carlsberg

[Talisman]

No sarcasm. You were right and it has stunning grains.

I've replied to you.

Hmm, maybe if that is Mr. Ponting's thing I should offer my latest addition. Should be right up his street.

Think you will find KP has his bats made by a number of different people and definitely not just one supplier, as for RP i would imagine he would be the same but in regards to him I'm just guessing.

[Talisman]

I heard from one of KP's mates that he doesn't care who makes his bats, I should be able to verify that shortly when the season starts from the horses mouth.

[Watsontotty]

Well i know of at least 4 people who make or have made bats for him in recent months, he tends to pick up a number of bats when he is on tour but has a couple of makers here in the UK as ive picked up a few myself.

[Talisman]

You will have to pm me with a list as I know of no one making them in the UK for him.

[procricket]

I think there a lot of unfounded claims out there about many so called players bats and so many claiming to make for ..

[Cover_Drive]

Very soft pressed I assume, few dents etc

[justnotcricket86]

KP said in an interview during the ashes that he has a select group of people he trusts to pick his bats for him

[Watsontotty]

There are a lot of claims kicking around about most international players and who's bats they use etc etc and i tend not to even comment unless ive seen it myself. KP for instance does the same as what the touring teams does when they come here they go to a bat maker and have a batch of bats made up for them to try out and no bat maker or company are going to turn down the chance of making some bats for KP and Tendulkar etc etc.
