Neither are on the respective gray nicolls websites? seems bizarre as I think they would be popular.

I used a GN Scoop 2000 in the 1994 season after Lara used it to score 375 in Antigua in the April.
It was a decent enough bat 2' 8 oz

I also used a GN 500 4 scoop in 1983 season as used by Gower in the late 70s and a GN Dynadrive in 1992 as used by Jimmy Adams

Although these bats were good, I don't believe they stack up to modern day bats IMHO

I don't think any bats from that kind of era do. I have to say, my scoop is sweet out of the middle, but I haven't hit any shots with it that just keep on going

Does anyone have any idea as to the quality of these bats? They might be worth a go.

I emailed GN and they have said they are 5 star quality range, so grade 2'ish.

I've always liked the scoops I also liked the Dynadrive which had narrow twin scoops :)

I am considering it, I've emailed Talisman to see if he could get hold of one, better someone who knows what a good bat looks like than a anonymous website (no offence to website cricket shops intended). It's just if you can't see the bat it becomes a bit of a lottery.

If I make the purchase I'll post some pics of what I get.

Lovely refurb i bet your dad is pleased? So are you going to let him give it a run out to see if it plays just as he remembers it!!?

His playing days are long gone, though he did pick it up and shadow a few shots

That's obviously a very wise decision. The Aussie one looks better I have to say
