My Centurion bats were 2lbs 12oz and were brilliant. Really durable and a great middle.

Used to play for my club! Have heard some serious stories about they guy!

Everything you heard about clayton lambert was true no matter how amazing they may seem. The bloke was an animal on the cricket pitch! He would blast boundary after boundary but somehow could only ever hit a 1 on the ball of EVERY over. His style was like chanderpauls, his only weakness was early on he could get lbw walking across his stumps. After he was set, sit back and watch the fireworks. Unbelievable shots. He always used to tell you what he was going to do and for comedy value he would tell the bowler where he was going to hit the next ball. He used to talk a lot about batting and the one piece of advise I always remember was that you must play % shots, the ones with the least risk/reward. He would reverse sweep opening bowlers into a big space and continually go aerial over the ring fielders usually out if the ground. He allowed himself to play these type of shots because he was hitting into safe areas. When I was keeping he would make me stand up all the time. Forget byes "1 is , keep the man in his crease boy" was what he would say. Great advice for keeper but not when he would bowl bouncers! Legend of a cricketer. Now high up in USA cricket.
