The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Lovely bit o' willow roco. Who's going to help you lift it after a few overs? I'd be dragging it out of the pavilion on my way to bat. ;)

Bit off topic but they mentioned during one of the BBL games that Gayles bats were 2lb12oz.

P.S Nice piece of willow

I'd have thought he'll be using lighter sticks in oz because there quicker pitches possibly?

I'm not sure but I'm sure I've heard them mention in the IPL there around 3lb

I guess he just picks a bat up and if he likes it, he has it. I reckon he could use a stick of rhubarb and still hit it further than a lot of people lol

I have a tweet from him that says 2lb14 so might just get different weights from different makers

Lovely grains on it. How wide is it ? Who made it for you in the end ?
Our usual batmaker made this beast

Standard width, just a longer blade

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.
