I found a brand new M&H International bat on ebay and won the auction for £206+15... here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Millichamp-and-Hall-The-International-Limited-Edition-/222106452646?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=h6P7okFB9sltKEvz91r8xkzf3EU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
I saw this one - it is 2-9, so I let it go. Congrats!! These are great bats!
£550.00 for a cricket bat?No offense intended but seriously, in general public if someone is ready to spend this much on a cricket bat then I assume he is currently not in good batting form. He wants to make runs and play long innings but can't figure out exactly why his strokes are either not timed or the ball does not meet the middle. So the wallet takes the toll and the player wants to explore this venue in an effort to get back in form.Obviously it's a free world and everyone is at liberty to whatever he/she wants to buy - so I am not stopping or discouraging the OP from buy this bat; however, I feel that the bat makers have sky rocketed the prices tremendously in recent years.
MH had a 30% off offer a couple of Fridays ago. It was for the MH16 which i think is pretty well the same bat.
Its rare that bats that pro use are in line with the stickers on them, even if made by the same company (rare) they are usually what the pro prefers rather than the marketed shape.
Nick Compton's bat is not actually this concaved, is it?
