Go for it mate ;). So we can have some more pics of that bat.

Was mentioned in the skysports GN bat special that he gets 40 bats sent to him to choose from

This has been discussed elsewhere, most likely in ebay bargain spots, that this is most likely an error in listing as someone suggested that this bat belongs to Nail O'Brien and not Compton but I could be mistaken.

Would he have his handle normally with only half of it done?!

Many players like no twine and many on the top hand

They like a thin handle on the top hand for control I know Compton has mentioned this on gn tv.

I know quite a few indian players do not like twine they like the flex on a handle and being wrists some liked it that way

Why?

A handle with no twine is said to give a 'whippy' feel.

It's all down to personal preference, but it isn't recommended to remove the twine as this weakens the handle.

The bat I made at home I used electrical tape rather than twine. It is slightly more flexible...
