And Phil Tufnell in an Ashes in the early 90s, I think.

I thought so - here is a great video showing that most English of things, vainglorious failure... And Tuffers, the plastic cockney, using a Zenith bat.

I thought Zenith was a Newbury sub brand as the Z on the sticker was at a weird angle so that when you held it at 90° it looked like a N. On the Salix website it says AK used to make them.

Think the mighty Devon M also wielded a Zenith. Reckon they were front runner to the Adidas Pellera colour scheme!

Redback are still going strong. I've been in contact with Gary recently and I've got a bat coming from him at the end of the month. Top quality brand, Gary makes some of the best bats in the business in my opinion.

They were popular on here for ages for good reason! They were excellent responding bats and only ever came across one Redback which wasn't great!  Tried quite a number and they were pingers! Still have one in my collection! Nice to know that Gary is still going!

Open Championship - one DG Gower promoted them I think.

Holt & Haskell - Mainly softs I thought

Easton - who made their bats, I had a couple of crackers from them


Also - branding changes -  I loved the old Aero stickers for bats, I wish you could still get them. I think Goughy once rocked Asics stickers on his bats.

I used to like the M&H stickers that were all wavy across the back of the bats, Puma retro stickers,

Easton distribution and manufacturing rights were bought out by aero. So anything that was Easton became aero , they all probably have been bats as they had/have there own soft style.

Holt & Haskell is the name of a sports shop fairly local to me. They used to do their own range but you don't see many about any more. I'll have a look next time I'm over that way.

Think that Centurion let Courtney Walsh use their bats on tv! Had the best leave in test cricket and was a great great bowler! However batting....

Yeah! I remember Centurion - I had one of their bats and it was quickly snapped up by a West Indiam club member! Great graphics and shown off by Courtney and Dev!!
