You can buy those brand new. SS made a number in the last couple of years.

Gray Nicolls Millenium. I'd use one of those in a heartbeat again!

Slazenger V1200, £30 quid for grade 3 EW and what a bat it was all through U10s and U11s

I've still got a Newbery Excalibur - no shoulders - 3 lb of hooliganism in its day.

Exactly- but sadly not wielded with such destructive brio as by Lance Cairns! I think Malcolm Marshall also had one around that time. Tempting to wonder what transfer price Lance Cairns in his pomp would have attracted in the IPL. - he could bowl a bit tidy too.

Certainly a devastating batsman with an odd bowling action

I loved the Kookaburra Bubble, too, but in my opinion the most retro looking bat is actually a modern bat - the really rather lovely Willostix Anaconda Classic LE: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/willostix-anaconda-classic-limited-edition-cricket-bat-p294

got to say the two you brough to the Manor grabbed a lot of attention - lovely, lovely bats.  But not the same type of retro if you ask me - I mean, you didn't see, for example, Viv Richards batter the England seamers with one when you were nine...

Very nice bats they were. Had a lovely pro performance that I didn't knock in properly and bust the toe.
