Just seen this on Facebook.
Seems as if KP has been buying some English made bats for the IPL.....

Is it just an illusion that some are slightly shorter in length?

My bat is originally a hawk, company down this way buys part made from them and shapes them here. The owner has a Bell cast off, it's a bit special

I was also under this impression having waved one of his bats around at said Nottingham based maker.
