Challenge for the Batmakers
« on: December 15, 2011, 12:06:06 PM »
Ok any of the batmakers on here willing to give it a go at making something old school??? The picture below is Don Bradmans bat.

I'd be interested if anyone on here would give it a crack at making one including the handle shape, which I think is interesting in itself.

I think any bat maker would want profile pics too.

I'm sure James laver has one as I think he was given access to one at an Aussie function to make a copy and it's harrow size or something like that

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.

I can't believe it would be all that dissimilar to this...

Probably about as much as when we see pics of McGrath and Warne, and probably as much as when you lot see pics of Freddie and Beefy. There's a modicum of respect in there somewhere as well, you certainly wouldn't cringe if they were your own lol.

As I said if you mail laver they may be able to send you a pic or info as I'm sure he has a copy in the workshop hanging up

I agree and that is very similar to GM 1885.

I think an 1885 will be significantly different to that
