I thought a little too perhaps.
I paused the coverage each time there was a good shot of the bat. it was definitely a new bat (as in unused), though as you know, Shane's been out of action for a while.
I saw him in the Sheffield Shield match at the WACA the week prior and he wasn't using this bat.
Essentially, it looks like a Flare, maybe a marginally lower sweet spot, but Shane does go for a Flare with a lower middle for ODI's on occasion any how.
Difficult to tell but i thought I could detect marginal concaving. The edges are enormous, even for a GM+, Mark Nicolas called it a railway sleeper.......
It's also interesting that he used a black grip and there was an additional sticker at the toe (I don't know whether this is a GM sticker or a different sponsor or charity or the like) so the cosmetics vary from the standard Halo.
I'm wondering whether this is a preview of the Australia exclusive model touted by Lazza above?
Lazza, what's your source on that by the way? Inside info?
