just because a bat has 43mm edges doesnt mean its a great bat....

It also had great ping! But the best bat by far was a GM Icon.

What type of Bradbury? What was the damage (price) for it?

And the edge & price of the GM ICON?

Lot of money for an Indian bat, if the GM pinged the best then buy that.

You're right! Alot of money!
If I were to spend that amount of good Aussies Dollars, I would go for Screaming Cat!
Would so love to visit that workshop!!!!

Went to the Salix Website and through the stockists websites and found the cheapest advertised Salix Fera Grade 1 for GBP199.
Emailed the stockist with what I was after and they replied "Sorry we do not operate an overseas mail order service. We wish you well with your cricket." How hard can it be? Or is there some law preventing the sale of cricket bats overseas? Somewhat bewildered as to why the stockist doesn't operate an overseas mail order service?

The only thing I can think of is the pathetic import / export process we have here!???
We can order Lavers from NZ, Screaming Cats from Aus, and anything we want from the USA.
But I think that cd0070 tried to order a bat from the UK and was told the same thing!!

Mind you, every time we order things from Aus we seem to get stung by customs!
I ordered some stickers from GCCC, and customs stung me! It wasn't enough that GCCC ripped me off with their large postage charge!!!

So maybe you need to ask someone you trust to buy you one and send it to you???

Warsop refused to post Cd0070 a bat overseas due to something to do with their warranty, strange.

In contrast to the Salix stockist (amongst those that will send me a bat) Redback will charge me GBP35 to send a bat to my door, so something isn't right somewhere. ie Salix stockist doesn't operate a mail order service and Redback is able to send me a bat. Is the Salix stockist "just a bit lazy/not bothered"?
