I've got a few bits on order at the moment and I've been waiting for the postman daily for what feels like forever. I've got a few repair projects and some brand new kit en route to me and I'm not sure what im most excited about.

Anyway, I've just had a message saying I have a massive package. I also had a message saying a large box has been delivered.

What will it be? Pictures to follow when I get home to open it, but I am absolutely buzzing!

I had an amazing delivery last week, A very special 3lb.... big edge........

Bread Tin. My bread would always rise over the top, and now its perfect decent size to my dough!

Have you hacked my phone?

Call me Digger...

I think 'rooter' would be more appropriate!

Fnaarr!!!

In the interests of extending such phallic cricketing innuendos, we had a screamer on Saturday when our opening bowler was complaining about the middle on the new bat his wife had bought him for Christmas..."she should know a thing or two about disappointing wood, eh Steve?"

Teaser! It's not the one I thought it was but in still excited

And it was the 4 "repairable" bats on eBay

Moral of the story - don't buy broken bats on ebay





The GN






Warsop Venom (this one doesn't look too horrendous)




Piri Piri




Warsop Platinum







I have a horrible feeling I've wasted my money on these

At least you'll have plenty of firewood come the old months.

I hope you didnt overpay for them

[Kulli]

The two Warsops will probably scrub up ok, no idea how they'll play though, the other two look like lost causes.

[WalkingWicket37]

Just made a start on the Warsop platinum, under the tape there was a 3 inch strip of willow missing too.

To say I'm gutted is an under statement

The guy selling those bats has massively ripped you off. proper firewood. Is there anything you can do to send them back or something?

They aren't repairable - that is a lie on the listing the guy selling those bats would have known that.

eBay buyer protection could save the day here!

Got to say I agree - at least two of them are beyond any form of repair and that must have been known to the vendor from the outset - as such his listing was more or less fraudulent.  Obviously, there is a postage issue that could cause complications, but I'd be inclined to pitch for at least 50% of what you paid back...
