Tom,

Can i just say that Mongoose is a awesome brand. Symonds is using the Mongoose Gear now and it looks fantastic I Really do hope you carry on signing more players and hope you have a good year P.S Loving the Red Cor3 Gloves

Harsha Bhogle: But a little bird told me that your son plays with a Mongoose bat.

Steve Waugh: Yes, he actually used it before Matthew Hayden. Hayden stole the idea from him. He has had it since last year, Stuart Law gave it to him. I was in England with the family last year watching the Lord's Test and Stuart was showing people the Mongoose bat, so my young guy picked it up and thought it was pretty good. And Stuart sent me the bat couple of months later, so [my son] was playing the under-10 cricket with the Mongoose bat. He hit a couple of long sixes and all the kids wanted to look at the bat. So it's quite funny to now see Hayden use it on the big stage.

on a slightly different note, I have just been sent an email with this Mongoose Ad, is it me or does this bat have a visible splice in? happy to be told I am wrong, but if it does, it rather defeats the USP of the bat!

Yes it certainly looks like a splice in that picture. Although, I think the reasoning for this is due to the height of Matthew Hayden? Something about they have to have a mini-splice, but this looks like a few size splice. I am sure someone will clear it up.
