Rob Key liking for cakes....Fattus Cattus liking for cakes!
Rob Key class batsman.....Fattus Cattus class batsman!  ;)
Coincidence? Hmmm!  :o

Mr Wilton needs to improve the standard of his English. The plural of Oblivion is Oblivions not Oblivion's. Quality bats let down by a poor press release.

Alex,

Have you ever met Mohammad Yousuf? If so what was his profile and how was he?

Second question will Gray Nicolls make Scoop/GN100 in Grade 1?

Although I have met M.Y I have not had the priveledge of making his equipment, his english made blades were done by either J. Gasson or the late P. Swaine. He was a lovely chap to talk to though.

I can't say that we won't ever make them from grade 1's but at the moment there are no plans to.

I'd guess that people will likely buy them anyway, and that there's probably more profit in grade 2 willow. Either that or a shortage of g1 clefts and an excess of g2 that needs used up.

Nothing funny here

Not my decision to make from approx 5*willow (although our grading policy is different to everyone else so putting G2 or G1 means nothing) the company wanted to make something popular at a price that didn't make people think about taking out a mortgage to buy it. We already have the Legend and Captains Choice to do that!
