Ohhhh retro....iv managed to get my hands on the GN model as used to splat zombies in Shaun of the dead plus some other old school numbers.

Hoping to get hold of them tomorrow as I wasn't driving on Sunday when I gathered hem up.

Thought the Shaun Of The Dead bat was a Slazenger? :(

Lovely bunch of blade Buzzatron, look forward to the rest of this :D

You need an old reflex to add to that lot!

The old reflex and insignia didn't make it out. The new caerulex is a pretty good version of the old one with larger edges.

Just out of curiosity, do Hunts County use maroon rubbers in their handles?

unfortunately Malcolm has asked that we only have two people at the barn at any one time.
plus this was a little last minute.
I had a go with the stigs new bat and it was sensational.
we will put up marks from the bats later.

the stig rocked up unannounced!

The stig was a bit lucky, as when he turned up we had enough people to perform some scoring, so were able to provide some numbers on the bats we had with us!

There were the Caerulex set, two revolution Ps, an 1885 and a mid-low middled Ultra.... I'll tease you with results in a little while, but I'm afraid the pictures will have to wait!

Not this time. Wasn't supposed to be a batoff so didn't have all the kit with us...! Which is a pity as it would have shown some lovely cover drives from me, and the Stig getting bowled off an 80mph yorker....
