Yeah decent track and outfield was lightening. I imagine it can be quite chilly if you play them in April and its windy though so take a jumper!

The most bizarre ground you will ever play at, hidden in the middle of nowhere and its a rectangle shape ground. fielding at cover on one side you are saving one on the boundary!

you need to get out more often, try Ledsham in Yorkshire:-

That would be my perfect profile on a bat, very good for the bouncy wickets here in Perth. The number of grains on that are very ample for a G2, reasonably straight, I'd say the slight discolouring would be why it was not rated a G1? Either way, looks a belter and hopefully you score bootloads of runs with it!!

Had a good net session today against the bowling machine and very impressed with this bat. First time i've really used it so I didn't go mad but even push shots were travelling

Very good performance and the pick up was excellent as expected, Good work John!

Very Impressed bud, even when it nearly took my calf off behind the bowling machine!

I'm not sure nearly is good enough lol. You either have lighting reactions or its not quite opened up fully yet lol
