I really like they shape of the bat they have created - lovely.

Who wants a CNC machine anyway, or a bat with 40mm edges.

too anybody who believes all the hype about how far a bat will hit a ball, this feat at Scarborough has only been done 3 times since the 1800s. 6th paragraph.

Top class craftsmanship even making own handles

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

100 not out

Welcome oldgit!! ( seems strange calling you that). Thanks for posting the video, really enjoyed that. Does anyone know when and where this was filmed?? It's funny to see people working in ties and jackets. Can anyone hazard a guess as to which year this was filmed???

The fella at the end reminded me of Alex GN. Lol

Given it's Little Baddow, I was going to say Warsop, but I thought that Surridge made a Perfection. Then I had a quick Google, and I think the Surridge bat was a Perfect rather than a Perfection. Then I found a Warsop Perfection old ebay listing.
