Best is hard as ive had some great bats so many of them but possibly it would be the old Kook Alan Lamb bat which was top of the range in its day but cant remember the model name as it was a long time ago lol, the worst is very simple it would be all 3 warsop bats ive owned absolute planks.

Explain? :)

Pull off their quickest bowler - was about 20m above the ground as it cleared the boundary.  Next thing we heard was the crash of the house tiles.  Was by far the longest I have ever hit.  Must have been well over 80m.

Don't think it was the Gold Crown but certinly wasn't the ridgeback as it wasn't scooped in any way, Sovereign mmm possibly bud but i cant remember for sure and it was a long time ago but i do remember my brother borrowed it and smashed it as i was only around 15 at the time and he didn't ask to take it.

Wow, sounds a cracking shot mate!  Saw the article, guessing that was photoshopped otherwise I was seeing things..!  :-[ In light of your score I'm a bit gutted I got retired on 110 when we had 7 overs left, would have backed myself to have gone mental (controlled, obviously ;)) and scored a fair few runs... :( - But that's Sunday cricket at times :(

Not photoshopped, no.  I was fortunate enough to play at Lords last year in a Lords Taverners charity day.  The sports editor of the paper just used that pic as it was one of the few he had of me.

Best was an Mjolnir LH.  Beautiful bat.  Beautiful ping.  Bought a few years ago.  Handle had a lot of 'whip'- too much as it turned out. Died last year - handle broke...

Dukes Pro-Century Test Selection - according to others I had never it the ball so hard. Remember charging this trundler and he bowled me a wide long hop. It would normally be cut but as I was on the charge I lunged and sliced across the ball in an effort to reach it. Flew straight over the sightscreen 70 yards away. Gutted when it snapped in half :-(
