Awkward turtle 🐢

That would be, AT-18

I have a bat that is 5 years old now. Couldn't tell you when it reached its 'peak' as such,, but it has been a gun for a while now. I have looked after it and not used it in the nets too much, but it has scored me a lot of runs (of my 13 scroes of 50+ for the club, it has gotten me 11 of those with 2 centuries in there). It is still a gun to this day but for whatever reason I insist on buying more bats even though I can never bring myself not to use the old faithful and when I do and get out cheaply, I know it's the old bat punishing me for not being loyal hahaha.

Gee cricket tragics think alike.
I bought a new B3 crown a while ago, very good stick, so much better than one I purchased years ago it wasn't funny. Put my GN stickers on it, prepared it, had a net, first game with it blah, crusty old stick back in action (this has happened many times)

It's a curse haha. Although it did work twice this year. One of my players used a new bat and he didn't go very well, the next week he said he was going back to his old one and sure enough, het got 107 off 100 balls (57 of those coming off his last 26 balls).  Then I had something similar, got out for my second duck in a row (one 1st baller and one 2nd baller) so went back to the oldy and I got 77 off 57 (Scored my last 30 off 9 balls). It's all in the bat haha.

I've done it mid-innings before - debut for a new bat, scratched around knocking singles supporting the in batsman, when he got out called for the old one and timed the pants off almost every ball for the rest of the innings. Strange how it works isn't it.

i think you need to post the pics of your bat and then we can tell exactly how long will it take for each bat to reach the peak..LOL
