Is that a BAS
« on: September 19, 2013, 04:59:51 PM »
The one he is holding in his right hand?



the one in his left hand looks like a proper clubber.
also do you think he will do well in his last T20 tournament?

Yes looks like it. I have always wondered why he uses those pads....

the story goes that he was given his first set by sunil gavaskar...he has used them since...the old buckle style ones...with customised padding inside (more on the left leg obviously)

Right, if sachin can use a 3lb bat then so can I!! Need to stop being a pussy and get down the gym :) everytime I see his bats it just winds me that I couldn't ever use one to reasonable effect. I bet that profile is pure destruction with a handle.

Yes that is BAS, looks like my custom bat is very similar to his shape & almost the weight as well. Now the difference between me and ST is just about the abilities  ;)

I love that bat in his left hand.

Does anyone have an idea of the measurements involved?

I don't care how heavy it is I just need to have one haha

with the right cleft you could do that at 2.10/2.11

Ask b3 for a Crown Cleft .... £400 i think

More chance of seeing Moses doing backflips across the bow of the titanic than me paying that much for a bat!

I agree he can easily get same profile in much lesser weights but I believe it's more about how he likes to feel the weight of the bat in his hand. With the kind of hand eye coordination he has he surely doesn't need a lighter cleft.

What are the gloves he is using in that pic, in 1 of the videos he mentioned he's not too fussy about his bats (though he scored 37% of his centuries with 1 bat  :o) but he is too particular about the gloves he use.
