Had 4 V12s as a kid.  Loved them.  Hope they do it justice.

if Kookaburra were to do anything they should do the Alec Stewart era Bubble and the late 80s Ridgeback - in fact, that Ridgeback is just the kind of shape that would go really welll with modern bat making techniques, you could make something huge for very little weight!

The one thing I do remember about the v12 was that it had a pretty small middle. Be interesting to see what they do to modernise it...

Plus they are plugging in to a market of fat, balding, ageing, club cricketers in their 40's with more money than talent, who will buy these bats in the hope that they will make them bat as well as they did in 1984.

I have no idea what you are on about  :D

Are these Super Tuskers legit???

My old club when I was 14 used to have one and I bought it off them for $50...it had a terrible pickup probably due to being loaded with oil haha loved it though....don't know what ever happened to it though sadly!
