A screaming cat - to have a bat made by the master
a newbury cenkos - see if it's worth the £1k
a black cat joker - love these bats but not sure if i'd play my naturaly game with it or not

[procricket]

mmm

Not many i have not tried

Maybe

Affinity
Some local made Indian Bat
Kookaburra Kahuna

Off top of my head i guess the Sg/Kook so thats about it..

[smokem]

SCAT Series 1: legendary bat - say no more!
Affinity Carbine: a lot has been said about this brand and really want to give one a try.
H4L Hellfire: would love to try a H4L. Tempo is too heavy so a Hellfire will do...

[petehosk]

Good question...I think the only ones on my list would be..............

1. Blue Room LE (I had a Swell G1 and regret selling it as it superb, so an LE would be interesting to see how it compares to other top bats I have!)
2. Spartan MC329 (I have used one of Chris Gayles actual bats and it was too heavy for me...so the MC at around 2'10 would be great to try!)
3. Either a top of the range Aldred or a GM Flare Players Watson or old model Newbery GT355 SPS! (For different reasons - the Aldred as I hear excellent things and would love to see how these compare. And the Watson Flare as I just got hold of an 808 Flare and although not particularly big compared to other 2'10 bats these days, it still feels like a lovely pick-up and taps up nicely so I'd like to try the Players edition! The GT355 is a higher middle like the Flare, and I sometimes feel that this midddle position suits me better?)

The only other contenders would be bats like the Newbery Cenkos, or the Red Inks and other small but professional custom bats!

Much like Pete (in fact due to Pete!) I have been lucky to try out a lot of great bats but the ones that I would still like to try are:-

1) One of the re-made Symonds Super Tuskers
2) One of the re-made SS Jumbo's
3) One of the Slaz bats that has the TAS inserts on the edge.....

2nd go for me:

1. W.G. Graces bat
2. Don Bradmans bat
3. Bothams DF Magnum

All in condition as when they were using them (rather than plucking them off the pavilion wall at lords and giving a swing)

[Wedge2408]

I would love to try:

a Screaming Cat: a couple of guys I play with have them and they seem great, plus it would be awesome to own a bat made by Julian Millichamp.

a B3

an Affinity: heard a bit about both of these brands (b3, affinity) so I would love to see how they go in the flesh.

Affinity Carbine/Spectre (preferably both) - having seen and tapped up the 2 when Paul had them in his shop, was mighty impressed and would definitely get one if I was a decent player and could justify spending 300+ on a single bat.
Aldred - been very impressed with pictures and reviews that people have posted on here.
Black Cat F40 - looks awesome...

[ItsJustCricket]

1. Willostix Spitfire Classic
2. Hammer Hel 156 Platinum
3. Affinity Spectre

Because having knocked them all in recently, they seem like absolute guns and are all the right sort of profile shape for my game too...

Pete was expecting you to have used most bats available.

[Buzz]

Aldred - because I love all the willow pics Paul puts up
Salix - because I have never tried one in my wight range (sob - less than 2lbs 11)
BAS pro bat - given the number Sachin has used, they must be ok
SG Pro bat - ditto for Sehwag.

I know it is four - but I couldn't split the SG and BAS options.

It should be worth noting that I am very privileged to have tested a great number of bats and these are still on my list to test...

[petehosk]

Pete was expecting you to have used most bats available.

Indeed I have a fair amount, and I have been blessed enough to have some great contacts and friends who have provided some unreal bats. 

[sgcricket]

1. Newbery Cenkos
2. Laver & Wood Signature
3. GN Nemesis

[FattusCattus]

1) Willostix Slugger  (well, you have to don't you!)
2) H4L Tempura (T20 version of the Tempo - gives more of a battering)
3) Larsons Top of the Range (the low grade ones are pretty spanky, so a top one must be mental!)

[fasteddie]

2) H4L Tempura (T20 version of the Tempo - gives more of a battering)

I'm back at H4L next week, I must ask Matt if he's consider such a beast.

It's an awesome name!
