Considering the blade runners still cost around £180 and are great bats.
And the G1/2 still looks to be a decent enough, and big hitting bat, I consider it to be a reasonable price.
Plus if I don't get on with the 'Newbery; then I will sell it for £50 or £60 in 2010. And will therefore still have a £180 Kookaburra for around £110!
So as long as I am happy, and putting some much needed money into the forum economy, then surely its all good!

Both bats look as if they'll go well. And even if the Cadbury stickered bat is 'only grade 2' then it may still go like a rocket - so that wont put me off!
So fingers crossed that both bats are guns!
