Yep - but they've always been stupid money over here too. I think £200 - £250, I don't ever seem to recall seeing them on special offer.

Favorite retro bat from years ago is the symonds super tusker.

I picked up and swung around the new SS turbo 333 and it felt fantastic.

I'd love to try one, but they are pricey...

Almost forgot about that one...we used to sell alot of them back in the day. It was used by Ravi Shastri and thats possibly the bat he was using when he hit the 6 x 6's in an over.

Greenidge as well I think.  One of my mates has one knocking around in his garage, hasn't used it for years - I may enquire as to its availability!

At the SS Sareen factory in India they have a dedicated room which carefully houses most of the classic bats from the last 20 years.

Of all brands?

I may be completely wrong (it was a long time ago, and I was young at the time), but wasn't there some sort of issue with Super Tuskers being wider than regulations allowed ?
