Special bat from my Mate happens once a year
« on: April 24, 2014, 03:36:10 PM »
As some might now my mate comes over from Lahore once a year and always spoils me with a bat.

This time he has got me a belter in my weight and it is as big as a 2-13 bat.

Ping on the monster is great I've said he got it from a mate in Dubai who has good Indian connections and is reputedly out of this players bag.  I never doubt my friend who has played first class cricket for over 15 years and is good friends with the likes of Misbah Ul Haq and Ahmed Shahzad.

A few on this forum know him of have seen him play he opened his Lancashire league account by scoring 170.

Now the player bat he normally uses 2-12 or 13 this one is 2-8 so not sure what happened there but the size and feel tell me this is special plus my good friend also gifted me a Shahzad one day shirt and his Lahore Eagles hat.

Pictures to follow

Agreed.

Bat, what bat?  ;)

Maybe you could drop it round and I'll give it a quick (season long) test.

I think you are getting to a stage where you have too many bats. First refusal on a B3 hand me down!

All i can say is i have generous friends and as Max knows him will tell you this man is a legend and i have known him for 10 years and funny enough we where born 6 days apart yet i'm 35 and he is 31 now!!!

Forget size just the stiffness in the blade is unbelievable i hope a forum meet is arranged i will share this bat for all. 

I found in India and Dubai in the sun bats do tend to brown off a tad more.

They certainly are not Phillip.... :D

I have tried to locate the maker through the handle but something is different to this than any other bats most Indian makers i can tell with a look at the handle this one is slightly different

That's a big bat with a huge middle.
I need to find some generous friends.

Looks like MSD profile. Nice bat Dave. I have seen Ali batting in few games here in Dubai he is a good batsman.
