Only two that I think worked with JM and are still making bats I thought were Rob and Laver. Rob then went onto Kookaburra and Laver obviously started his own. I could be completely wrong here.

Rob?

I think if you go back to the mid 90’s it was pretty common knowledge the Aussies had millichamp bats

Good spot from the forum on Waugh’s ton with a blank

Fabulous innings it was from a brilliant player
would often  when batting play for himself many times  saw him  take a single off the first ball of the over and put his number  eleven on strike.

I always thought Bradbury had been a Millichamp apprentice?
I was the first. The second was Lee Brittain. Lee and I left. James then joined.

I joined in 1990 and left in 1993 when Puma purchased MandH

The only people who worked with Jonathan and Julian were me, Lee Brittain, Henry Gresswell ( came in as a partner 1992, then purchased M&H UK and sold  to Rob Chambers) , (pretty sure Julian and Chambers never crossed paths)Simon Milton, Sam Miller, James Laver and  an Australian lad called Van  Vliet.

Rumours are it was a Bradbury but I’m sure Hoover could confirm this

Yes, Sally and I made Steve's bats for 10 plus years. At the time Sally  asked Steve's manager ( Robert Joske) to for one series put the "real maker's name on the bat" whilst he was negotiating a new deal with MRF. They felt a blank bat was better bargaining power. 8 of the 11 Aussies were using Bradbury. There were English batsmen as well. The clue lies in our logo in ink on the top of the handle and a yellow grip was often left on :)

@Hoover @Kippax @hell4leather cricket @The Doctor (apologies if I’ve missed any off the list)Genuine question to yourselves as makers, when you see a pro who is using your bats with a different brands stickers/blank is it a sense of pride or frustration at the industry?

To me, as a consumer of cricket goods I feel the public is often duped by this practice in the cricket industry??
