Long blade bat?
« on: August 09, 2015, 10:54:16 AM »
Team-mate broke his bat spectacularly yesterday during a brutal knock of 83. So he's looking for a new stick - long blade (he's 6ft 6) and heavy - 3lbs or thereabouts.
He's not bothered about looks, just performance, and is looking to spend not much more than £100.
Wondered if any forum sponsors could had anything which would fit the bill.
It's a potential long shot I know, finding a decent long blade at that price, but I'd said I'd ask.

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.

I made it. It's an MH distinction copy. I haven't finished the handle and it just needs a little knocking. Nice bat, I used it once and got 70 of 30 odd balls with a few 6's and I'm only 5ft 10 so in the hand of giant it would be a bit of a weapon

See page 46 for pictures

I'd clean up the face, sort the handle, apply stickers and knock in
