I can confirm that a Batoff was held at my barn on Thursday evening.

I can also confirm that a monumentally grumpy man in white was seen for about half an hour hogging the bowling machine.

the quality of the bats on display was devastatingly high. the quality of batting was mixed, but there were many many gentle half vollies bowled.

other noticeable things were that the testers preferred bats around 2-9 to 2-10 in weight

and Andrew kember makes lovely cricket bats.

the videos have been filmed from a new angle, but there will be some flinching as a result.

the upside is we get to see a great close up of the batsmens technique.
