CUSTOM BATS EXCLUSIVE - WIN A FREE GM BAT!
« on: March 26, 2012, 11:32:30 AM »

Hello everyone.
As you will all know the team at Gunn and Moore have been contributing a fair amount on the forum – certainly with Streaky showing off his ideas for a new Purist (shhhh) – so, to thank everyone for their suggestions, they have agreed to an exclusive Custom Bats Forum/GM competition.

Firstly the prize – the winner will be able to choose any bat from the GM 808 range (you better get on that bat selector to choose it  http://www.gm-cricket.com/pages/bat-selector/default.aspx) The 808 bats are only available via the GM 5* dealers so if you don’t win this prize, you can always pop over to your nearest store and pick one up, the updated list is here, http://www.gm-cricket.com/dealers/ alternatively also look out for the forum sponsors who stock GM kit!!

Ok, now for competition.

The question is:
What are the highest test scores made by by the following GM players and what is the current GM bat that they endorse? (no trick questions!)
Graeme Smith
Jonathan Trott
Ross Taylor
Graeme Swann

Answers should be emailed to competitions@custombats.co.uk, with your forum user name no user name means your entry will be invalid you have until Tuesday 10th April to submit your entries - if someone's highest test score changes in that time you can resubmit your entry - but the original one will count. Ross Taylor has broken his arm so his (and his move to a new bat model may be on hold ;)

The Stig will then draw the winner out of a hat (filmed and then published on youtube)

Finally (a little Sir Trevor MacDonald) moment for everyone – here is a little plug for the The Art of Batmaking videos, in conjunction with Graeme Swann, we have seen them before, but here they are again, just in case you haven't seen them... http://www.gm-cricket.com/gmcricket-tv/
Finally - many thanks to Ed Lowy, Russ Evans, Peter Johnson and all those good people at Unicorn/GM
GOOD LUCK

Well done Buzz on what I'm sure is the first of many big brand participation competitions. Looks like the forum is flexing its muscles at last.

The edges of my bat take a beating, the middle is near enough new.

Does seem a little bit of a waste of time when it's something anyone could look up though. Seems more sensible to either make it something stupidly easy , or something that can't just be googled.

the original question was going to be what is the highest test score made by a GM bat - unfortunately there aren't records as to what bats some of the older record holders were using...!!
