I contacted Muelman in Perth nearly a month ago and spoke with "Bob". I asked him about the Warner replica that was available on the site and he told me that they were all sold out and they were expecting a new shipment from Gray Nicolls in about couple of weeks. I expressed my interest and told him that I'd be happy to pay for one now so that he can set one aside for me. He was kind enough to agree to do that for me although he suggested that I pay with the bats are there. Unfortunately, the bats were delayed and I kept ringing them every few days to check if they had arrived.
Some few interesting facts about these cricket bats...
- The bat is almost an inch shorter than your regular Shorthandle bat. Handle and blade, both, are shorter than a regular SH bat. It feels like my T-20 size 6 custom bat.
- The bat has a big bow. When I spoke with Bob, I asked if I could get a bat with a big bow. He said that they did not have any bow on them. I was a little surprised to hear that because the way Warner plays, he is bound to have a big bow in his bat. I was pleasantly surprised when I receive the back that it indeed had a big bow. I wasted so much money working with custom bat makers to make me a back with a "big bow" and then to receive a bad with no bow. Very disappointed. I should've just bought a Gray Nicolls.
- The bat picks up 2-9 /2-10, feels a tad bottom heavy since the handle is wafer thin and light, no counter weight. I bet, the dis balance results in high bat speed.
