If you can get hold of a heavy bat guys its a great way of building up your batting muscles and shot power in nets - when you go back to your match bat it feels like air.

The anticipation of him emerging from the pavilion, and his walk from the boundary to the centre, is almost surreal. The sound of a passionate Indian crowd all chanting "Sachin, Sachin" as they wait in anticipation, followed by the enormous roar when he emerges onto the field, is electrifying.

Ha, just come across this thanks to the bump by Josh.

I played for my school 1st XI against a Headmasters XI that contained a few ex pros, including him and Sherwin Campbell.

At one point he stepped across his stumps and played the ball behind his back with one hand using that club of a bat, hammered it for 4 through square leg. Eventually he was bowled on 99.

He let me have a little hit with it in the nets, I could barely lift it, but it was an absolute steam train when you middled one.

Sher Amin is Malik bat not CA. 36mm is nothing as 42mm is very common nowdays, i have a custom made from Pakistan having 46mm edges in single piece willow.
