@Jacky How has it gone in match conditions? Really envious btw!

[Jacky]

A very dry bat, doubt it had been oiled in its life, weight was around 2.10. Only had a hit with some bowling machine balls, and went very well. Also note that the face was covered in indentations, likely hadn't been knocked in very much, or very softly pressed.

How does the bat go? Am looking at getting a new bat and so far have narrowed it down to one of these or a XXX9 from meulemans. Any ideas?

As its the off seasons I can't really tell you how it goes.

Merely show you a ball bouncing on it.

OMG watch the lights! Does it pick well considering the weight

Pick up is pretty nice, one of the best 2.14 bats I have for pick up.

And I was in the same boat, asked b3, Affinty, UK grays and a few others for one of these dimensions and just got resounding no's!!!m
So glad atleast one division of grays had the balls to release them to the public.

Did you ask us???

Did you ask us???

Yes, ages ago. Was before you started getting the larger clefts in mind.

Hi @smilley792 - whats your final verdict on this bat?

I saw one at Kingsgrove Sports in Sydney today (here on holiday), and it picked up really really well...my only question would be, have you noticed it being unusually dry (as it supposedly is), and does it show signs of being so dry (face flaking off, cracking easily, etc etc) ?

Since its a replica, I assume it wont be dry unlike the real Warners bat.

Hi @brokenbat

As it is our off season, and the only cricket I've had is indoor league or 2 forum nets. I haven't used it, merely let people have a feel and tapped balls on it.

It is not dry by a stretcher. My ca is a lot drier. And the pro bats on the shelf in b3 that they have took copies from, are also dryer.

Once the summer is up and our club nets built, it will get a fibreglass scuff and used till it breaks.
