It's nice of CA to put the BAS stamps on Hashim's bats for him as well as the stickers! 

Stamps some players have the equipment to get stamps on bats trust me on that.

Not saying it not a BAS just stamps are not a guarantee.

Nice profile though I really like Bas bats

@skip1973 Any links to the new ranges that you've been seeing?
I'm particularly interested in the new Gray Nics 2016 Aus range...

No I only have a hard copy catalogue at the moment.

Like I said @WalkingWicket37 I read it somewhere on the forum, can't find it now, but I didn't know how true it was.

I bowled to him in the nets at the Ageas Bowl and he was using a CA. At the time the stamp wasn't covered but before the game it was.  CA (and BAS infact) have a big offering is SA.

I would guess, like most pro's, he probably get a host of bats from various sources.

Don't know how true it is, but I read somewhere on the forum some time ago that AB used CA bats along with Hashim....

@WalkingWicket37

Apparently they did when South Africa toured Australia where Faf scored century in Adelaide. In that series..

In the post that I read, it was also the England vs South African series...

This is what I imagine happens with increasing frequency...

Brand: "here's our bats, take your pick..."
Player/agent: "er, actually I've been using these for years and like the option of picking up bats locally when touring abroad..."
Brand: "ok, here's a few sets of stickers..."

Think you hit the nail on the head @jamielsn15

Amla wasn't using a Bas today, had the edge stamps covered with tape. Either a CA or TON

Yes, agreed! The bat shape looked like a CA.
