Plyed against an adult who had one of those tiny white slazenger polycarbonate type bats you get with 3 stumps and a ball. It must of been a beach set. He lasted an over but the ball literally didnt go anywhere.

Hanham opener?

It's got to be my bat (Its a Matrixxx that I inherited from our Bangledeshy overseas a few years ago).  It got a v shape split running from the end of the splice down the blade in the first third of the season.  I had the lads from Steyning taking the mickey out of it all innings early on in the season.  I had it looked at by the guy who has made a bat for me, he glued it and I've used it the whole season whilst I have been waiting for him to finish making a new bat for me.  It still goes like a bullet but can sound very odd !

Still knocking in the new bat as I only got that about four weeks ago.

My bat doesn't sound great but she goes. It's a Gray Nicholls Oblivion Carbo, makes a nasty crack sound out of the middle, not dissimilar to my Taylormade driver when I hit that.

Lucky you mine doesnt have a middle!!

its a gn carbo handle thing, I had one and seen a couple more. they have all sounded terrible
I think everyone's being a bit harsh on GN Carbos. I use a GN Evo Carbo (must be about 2 years old now) and it makes a beautiful noise when it comes off the middle - pity that isn't too often - I knocked it in well before use and it doesn't sound any different from any other bats I've played against
