if u read it all he didnt have new stickers!

they where removed from an old bat and stuck onto the new one

This has been happening under the radar for years although the small manufacturers have always kept it quiet. I was at a small cricket bat manufacturers years ago when a pro turned up to collect 3 new bats he'd had made which were stickered up with a major manufacturers stickers

it does happen but there is no need to go shouting about It on the internet tho! tbh it could be any joe random emailing him saying he brought a bat off him and he is sponsered and stickered up one of his bats

Surely an American player, so doubt it's any of the big boys. Look at the t20 qualifier photos and find the pic of the bloke using an 1885 with a cricket store sticker on the back!

Doesn't matter what bats/stickers he's using Finn just bowled him an absolute jaffa!

Very good take in all fairness, I can't believe Bopara's getting so much movement, maybe he's been playing the wrong role all these years and he's really a bowler?

Here is matthew wades picture from his twitter:

I've always thought Ravi was a very underrated bowler.  He's had some amazing, match-winning spells in the odd international T20 - good to see him getting wickets and a proper spell in the longer format now, too...

really like the look of Wades yellow Puma pads, does he really need 3 pairs for a tour tho

Happened to come across a Hammer Cricket bat this past weekend. We were at a provincial tournament and one of the boys from NFLD had a Hammer cricket bat. I looked closely at it and was sure it was a Laver made, had a made in NZ sticker on the side as well..

Now if I my company was selling bats (Manufactured by various bat makers) I would want players to use the bats with my own stickers on it. Otherwise this player is just using a Laver/TK/God knows who's bat with GM stickers. Where is the recognition/Brand marketing for Hammer? i think its a bad move to "sponsor" a player and let him put other stickers on the bat

The bloke who is sponsored by Hammer cricket, is shown with his hammer cricket berzerker, which is the first picture. The GM picture shows one of 'his' bats stickered up as a GM.
