Tom

what advantage do you get with the flat face, purely bigger edges?
Exactly that.

This is one pic.

The bat on the left is the Brimble, the bat on the right was kindly sourced for me by Kieron.

I had to photoshop the stickers off the Brimble bat lest I get into any unwanted trouble. Hence why the top of the Brimble bat around the blade area looks like the bat on the right.




are you saying that the brimble bat was for a test player, meaning you have photoshopped the stickers off as otherwise it would be given away?

Vic,

Are you going to make us wait 6 months for some decent pictures? ;)

You should be handy with a camera as you use one for a living!

From experience, if you are in a situation where you have to take a lot of photos for work or uni or whatever, the last thing you want to do is spend time taking decent ones for pleasure :D

The cleft is a test players cleft and was earmarked for a test player who has gone up in weight, so it was of no use to him. Other test and FC cricketers would have swooped on it in any case.

However, the stickers on it were put on by me and I don't want any problems with anybody.

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

It was supposed to be 5mm longer - but it ended up being a standard SH bat.

Recently I have gone down to a standard SH bat - so, it all worked out OK any way.

That is a vexed question.

The customer service oscillated from excellent to non existent back to excellent.

The 45 days without any communication was really hard to take.

Having said that, the bat itself is the finest bat I have ever laid eyes on and tapped up with a mallet. Befitting a test batsman.

Hard to answer really.

Vic, We are still waiting on these pics!

Have you managed to use either in any games yet? I take it your season has started.
