Both look very standard shapes.

Smith's looks very GM to me.
Clarke's very Asian made with the big swell. He must really like it with all the face tape he has on it at the moment

Never mind Clarke's bat, Hussey's was going like a rocket on day one!
The six he hit to get to his 100, bullet off the bat.

I always got an impression that Hussey bats are made by Julian Millichamp. I don't know what make me assume that.

I think Clarke's bat looks like an older style bradbury.

Always liked bats like Smith's with the more parallel, less tapered edges. Think it just feels more substantial in my hands.

Looks very similar indeed!

People always seem to comment on Brendan McCullum's bats, especially sometimes on commentary. I know they are made down in Coventry by the batmaker at V Sports. Unbelievable the look of them..
