My first bat was a Symonds of some sort.......I just remember that it was the heaviest bat anyone in the team had so therefore it was the best.... :D

Mine was a SG Sunny Tonny which was purchased in 1990. The next one was a SS and followed by SG Slammer. All of them cracked.

Symonds Tusker? Awesome bats, they re-made some a few years back but then Symonds went bust again. They occasionally appear on Ebay, sure there was one on a couple of weeks back....

I would buy one if it came up at a decent price, pretty extreme profile if I remember! Didn't Dean Jones use one for a while?

The year was 1975.

The bat was a Gray Nicolls Cricketer - Ian Chappell autograph.

Was too heavy for me, but I grew intro it and made thousands of runs with it.

My mum and dad have kept it, otherwise I would have thrown it out. But dear old mum and dad are sentimental.
