Saturday, One of the openers from Oakwood Hill CC was using a Red Ink - Looked liked a traditional profile but seemed to go well.

I spotted a CP Spectrum Edition being used yesterday; nice looking stick. The chap who owned it said that his son was sponsored by CP and he got his bat through them. Also a nice M&H Amplus which sounded lush, and the biggest GN F18 I've seen. It was the LE; the edges were enormous, but it picked up like a feather. Sadly it was used mainly for some large agricultural heaves to leg!

My own Salix Supernatural was also not used to it's potential either, seeing a paltry 11 before an LBW put a humane end to the knock!

A guy in the oppo had a A61 750i Colossus, weighty, but lovely pickup. Not sure why he didn't use the Powerbow LE he also had. Poor bloke could not do anything but bunt with it... Also a YAS and a Sommers.

Not much to report of interest among the bats of my new team, apart from a lovely old Insignia LE, a beast of an Onhand Sports and a couple of nice Hits Hards.

One of the oppo today was kitted out in Blue room kit although was all the pink kit which didn't look great in my opinion in the flesh but bat sounded nice.

Opener had a HUGE Kippax Wavex lovely grains, he made 80odd and some flew off the middle, couldn't decide after staring at it for 35 overs if I actually liked the profile or not.

About 50% of the bats used in our game today were GN, including a couple of lovely looking Powerbows. Also the oppo used 3 woodworm.

One young lad in our team was using his dad's ancient Newbury - it was older than him - but unfortunate was showing its age and not got much left in it.

He wouldn't of got 80 odd had the umpires not been benter than a 9
Bob note!

Opening bat for the oppo had a blueroom that did its job, scored 80 odd. No. 3 had a Newbery Thuxton SPS with some very straight grains. Finally, no.4 had a brand new Salix, gorgeous bit of willow.

Played at a 6 a side in Doncaster today - lots of nice bats on show.
Quite a few bats from a brand i hadnt heard of - Torpedo. Not the best branding but all seemed to go well.

Who do you play for, Doncaster is about 20 minutes from my home.

Didn't know there was a 6 a side league

I play for Everton. The 6 a side was at Barnby Dun - it's not a league, just a day they organise.

I play for Outcasts, we played at Everton last year on Sunday, did you play?

I watched Dorset vs Hampshire in a T20 warm up, Dorset opener Masoor Kahn using Blank Bats stick.
Ervines Spartan was huuuuge.
Carbs got triggered 3rd ball of the day, given out ct behind, wasn't happy with the decision, must have hit the floor on his shot

[harry gamble]

a very strong offering of nixon bats on show on saturday, that distinctive full profile with small edges, especially the older nikons, very nice bats and go like stink

[Alvaro]

A few nice Chase bats at Brackley at the weekend. Finish is really good on them. None of their users hung around very long to get a proper look though...😉
