My new Sirius* 2lb 7.5oz
« on: January 31, 2015, 01:30:40 AM »

After seeing an Australian documentary last year when a comedian and amateur cricketer decided to face some modern 1st class pace bowling with equipment from Bradman's era, I was inspired to have John at Red Ink make a custom Bradman-esque bat. I was very pleased with the outcome but as John was in the throws of making this bat for me I saw he was creating his new Sirius, so when the sales came up I decided to get one in 2lb 7.5oz with an oval handle. It looks and feels beautiful and is the best finished bat I've had to date. I like that John has also stamped my initials and those of red ink on the shoulders. Nice little finishing touch. Please see the photos attached. More to follow once it gets properly knocked in.
