I bought this off of eBay following a tip off from Tom on here.

How size wise it compares to some of my others
Overall
It is in excellent condition despite a few minor scrapes on the back. I have since given it a rub down and oil. I have used it in the nets and it goes quite well, though more knocking in should yield improved performance. I like the fact that it is heavy and I understand the need for a thick handle but with my youth sized hands it would ideally be a bit thinner.
Could it realistically be used in a match? Our pitch is slow and low, you rarely cut or pull as the ball just doesn't get up, so therefore it is a realistic choice for a match bat. It won't get a league appearance, but it will make it to a friendly game or two.
Does anyone know what MMI stands for?
