My New Oblivion (custom made)
« on: March 14, 2011, 09:08:41 PM »
I had ordered a Oblivion through one of my friend who is also a cricket retailer.

The specifications I had given were:

Weight: 2lb9oz with a light pick-up
Edges: 35mm or more
Grains: not really bothered (very unlike me) but at least 8-9

Wanted performance like on a LE or Players bats (as there is not much diff between these in terms of performance) and not wanting to spend more than £180.

What I got:

Oblivion in 5* for £150
Weight: 2lb8oz
Edges: 40mm
Grains: 9 and fairly straight
Pick-up is very good

Very happy with the mallet test and for new bat it taps-up really very well and not very far in ping than my BC Shadow.

Here are the pics:

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Dave, just pulling your leg mate.
