Bat shapes and Player names
« on: February 25, 2015, 04:19:13 PM »
Looking at the B&S bat from Chad's topic, that profile has Sachin Tendulkar written all over it. M7H Master and Newbery B52 Bomber are also in the same category.

Similar to this , the duck bill profile is more known as Michael Clark/Virat Kohli's profile.
Dynandrive = Brian lara

What other bat shapes/profiles are related to player's name ?

SS I-bat is sold as the "Michael Clarke profile"

A few B3 shapes are associated with players too  ;)

He only used OC towards the end of his career. He mostly used GN labelled bats and I associate him with the GN500 (the four scoop) and the powerspot
