Stewart must've jumped about a lot, in my head he's using a Slazenger v500.

Even though they weren't particularly distinctive, Trescothick with a gm maxi, and Vaughan with a purist have stuck in my head.

Tendulkar I always think MRF

Steve Waugh always conjures images of that blank bat he scored a hundred with while injured

Beefy using a Duncan Fernley and David Gower using an Open Championship bat at the end of his England career

Gooch with his SS turbo. During that Indian summer when he scored the 333

Some of my main memories as a kid

There used to be a few names using Symonds bats for a while,

I'm pretty sure S Waugh, Greenidge and Emburey all used them.

I always wanted the Steve Waugh GM bat. I did have the Waugh zone Slazenger V100 top bat that

For me:
Neil Fairbrother - Slazenger
Daryll Cullinan (strangely) - Hunts County
Graham Thorpe - Kookaburra with the pin stripes on the label
Shane Warne - County with the simple labels
Robin Smith - GN AND yellow grip

Aero always makes me think Chris Martin  :D

A brand called zero would have been more appropriate given his batting record.
