Interested to know the ones that got away...

What were your favourite bats from your childhood that, for whatever reason, you never actually owned?

I would say mine was the Kookaburra Bubble...

I started playing "hard-ball" cricket in 2009, prior to that I played tape-ball throughout my life.

So if you consider 2009 as my childhood then its Gray Nicolls Powerbow (amazing profile really!)

However, my actual childhood was spent playing tape-ball cricket and then there was this Wills King bat which we (me and my brother had). It was amazing but then I broke it after getting bowled thrice on three consecutive deliveries, that day still haunts me as it was lovely bat! I'm remorseful when I think of that day..

Have to agree with the Bubble as my uncle had one and it was an absolute gun, just wish kook went retro and redid one or the Gold crown as i would buy both in a heart beat, also really liked the Gray's sabre and millenium but the kook's were top for me, worst bat was the school gray nicholls powerspot with the poly face i never realised how a piece of wood could kill a ball dead know matter how hard u try to hit the ball

Impala Redback was the bat I really wanted as a kid. I was a strange kid. I never got the bat, either.

A bat I always wanted was a Bradbury, sure enough Christmas Day couldn't have came slow enough however there it was! A size 5 Bradbury .
