I think it's a word Buzz coined for incidents which are like the Brimble and Shaqharris ones. :-[

Hey Jason, you just upload the pictures onto a photobucket account, then get the image codes and paste them on here. :)

Haha I see! If anyone has any further information I would be interested as I was heavily involved in the early incarnations of Instinct Cricket

You can't upload pics directly to CBF - fills up the Database too quickly, have to be linked from Photobucket.

Not on Tapatalk yet simply because the Tapatalk Mod requires a massive update to the Forum software.

nice bat but it is only from last year, so barely counts really.

this thread needs a baronet, a classic bat, a jack hobbs bat or something like that...

Thats fine... cracking bats from that era... An original magnum would be for me the cherry on top of the icing!

Its a shame about instinct they were great bats from the ones I saw.
Is it still against the forum rules to expose the batmaker for an extinct company? I do know who it is but not sure if I can put it public.
Also their softs always took an interest for me, I never tried them but everyone that did seemed to have a positive word about them. Given the amount put into the creation, anyone given the idea of buying the company from him any time?

The company is still going strong but a bat that no longer exists and was one of the first bats i saw was art... and thats the BlackCat Voodoo in all its various colour schemes... beautiful!
