Having had (and still owning) custom mades from Hunts, B3, TK, Red Ink and Robertsbridge, and having owned One of just about everything else, I think the ones I've missed are a SCAT custom, a custom GN500 and an affinity. So I don't think I can come up with 5!

Think I have most of the special bats that would be on my list to be honest.
But no matter how many bats you have, there is always room for 5 more  ;)
I guess mine would be the following (probably)

1. Kookaburra Ghost (saw lovely one which felt great last visit to Asad)
2. H4L Custom although unsure of the exact profile at the mo - possibly the NV?
3. Red Ink Custom - The two I have seen were both very decent indeed!
4. Real 'Pro' made GN
5. Blueroom Swell (used to have one which pinged like mad)

I have tried most brands, Stuart made GN are still my favourite though.

I would like to get my hands on a good Newbery, it will be my next bat from the UK.
I was lucky enough to find a GM players bat at 2.7 last season, will be sniffing around their Aust warehouse again this season hoping to find another, they are exeptional.

Plenty seem to be after the Warner Replicas, they are magic but only if you like heavier bats though, GN have sent us a few more but pretty much all have gone to buyers on a waiting list.

1. Laver & Wood as long as they give me something that meets my specs.
2. Duncan Fearnley Attack
3. Duncan Fearnley Super Magnum
4. Bradbury Forte Players
5. Slazenger V Series (old version) with a bump on the spine
6. Symonds Super Tusker (got one, won't mind having a few more)
7. Gunn & Moore Maxi with the Gold and Silver stickers (again got one, won't mind having a few more)
8. SG Sunny Legend
9. B&S GP274
10. Want to get a few done according to my specs.

Couldn't stop at 5. Still the list is incomplete but sadly can't afford most now due to other commitments.

Who says size doesn't matter with you lot!
I have an onset of tennis elbow coming on just thinking about half those bats!

Personally I would like to have... (in no particular order)

Another blank bats bat.
Another Robert pack made bat
A Charlie French bat (he is coming to a local cricket club near me soon)
A b3
A hell4leather bat
Oh and a hunts custom again


On off the bucket list coming soon 😱😱😱 😆😆
With some sharpie action from Nick Keeley...

B3 Trott Crown
GN DW Kaboom Players version
Red Ink 'Super Tusker'
H4L Custom (Warbird shape)

I don't mind what grade willow they come in but being something I would like I'd rather they look better than average i.e. minimum of 7 grains.

Chances of getting Numbers 1,2 or 4 very slim haha
