Not sure how many of you have been to Robertsbridge before, but I was struck by how quiet and unassuming a place it is - a few innocuous barns in the middle of nowhere houses arguably the most popular cricket brand on the planet. They still make some bats there too:
As many of you are aware, we were there to hand pick our pre-Christmas bat stock, including several Dynadrives that have been pre-ordered by various CBF members. I will leave these people in suspense for now, and show you some photos of some of the other bats we chose:
A 2.8 e41 500 here. The edges were ridiculously large for a 2.8 bat and it was sounding incredible off the mallet...
The Maverick Players willow was looking very nice, and here is a 2.9 (left) and a 2.10 (right). Very, very concave these - like a ski slope but looked and sounded great.
A 2.11 Scoop. Chose not to get the scuff sheet for this one...
And here's our complete trolley, including all of the aforementioned Dynadrives (many of which are lurking in the background out of sight - the suspense will continue haha)
I didn't get quite as carried away as Asad did, but still left with a few more bats than I was originally planning to! Inevitable, I guess!
We also got 3 x Oblivions (1 x Players and 2 x 5 Star), a Maverick 4 Star, a Maverick 5 Star and 3 other Dynadrives (in addition to the ones that have already been pre-ordered). All of these bats should land in our shop by the end of the week...
