there isnt anything in the laws to prevent this, it only stipulates what the handle can be constructed from. and even then it wouldnt necessarily apply to lower levels of cricket

I've started using a half rolled up grip this year and i feel a slight difference, if any, but it keeps my grip position nice and consistent.

Ahhhh, I remember the old days of Talisman telling everyone how it was with every bat and every player, and woe betide anyone who contradicted him - plus Norbs blinding everyone with scientific bullshot. I wonder how many of us bought a Matt Prior 'reject' off the Willow spiv?

Where are these 'legends' now eh?

Andy's company name was taken over by someone else, and I think the bats were imports

Mike was indeed involved in the development of the cow shoe - yet another enterprise that will involve him being in the sh*t!

What exactly became of Talisman cricket bats? Was a guy called Mike Brimble making them?

Used to read through all the old saf/norb posts,  I live just down the road from him.

Not heard about talisman but from the posts on this thread, he sounded a character?

He was no character

He was just a thief but was polorized because many where under his spell of cheap so called pro gear and got deals so turned a blind eye

He is a thief

Wasn't there a story you told a while back about him being chased out of a batmaker's place with a size 6, or have I just fabricated that story with my imagination? :-[
