Im really not buying into this Gm players thing.... over the last few days ive seen the likes of Ravi Bopara use an absolute monster of a halo that looked nothing like a Halo and Patel using a friggin huge Flare...

i think for �500 you should expect a bat as big and similar to those guys..... (although the players bats maybe overdried and decrease the life of the bat) so in that respect youd be pretty p'd off if you took the plunge and it broke pretty soon

it does make you question whether theyre actually using GM's?

I think in principle Its a 'nice' idea, but hasn't been executed well. Why would I want to pay 500 for a players bat that is 5 oz's too heavy for me, is 5oz's heavier than the player uses just so I can get a bat in the same dimensions. Also, paying 500 for a bat where no weight will be specified makes very little sense.

Here is Ravi's Halo;

Looks no where like a Halo, above bat has concaving whereas Halo doesn't.

How have you got a pic of Trotts bat?

Also another geekish point. Bopara always uses 1 grip on his bats but you can see 2 on the bats above, which makes you think is it an Indian bat stickered up as Indian bats sometimes have thin handles....

This is just my view tho lol

Cricket storeonline got some of the gear for the 2012 season to review, which included the Smith and Trott players bat. Trott's was 2'11 and Smith's was 2'13.

Slightly off topic but what are the pads that Ravi is wearing?

Is it just me or does Ravi's bat look huge compared to Trott's?

It looks like all edge and no profile to me. Still massive though.
