And now differences of opinion are now a no no?

@sarg do you think the bat maker would prefer these scoring runs or sitting in a collection now matter how impressive it is?

Can the double use of now be a no no?

Now now no no ......

Honestly my opinion is people should be allowed to do whatever they please, without having people they�ve never met on the internet have a pop at them.
Buy all the bats and use them, buy all the bats and look at them. Your call.
Same with toys, cars, etc etc.
If you don�t agree with that, no need to call it a waste, or a shame etc. Just move on.

What a waste. So many pristine looking bats.

hmmm interesting , what makes you think they have not been used , for the record 8 out of the 11 have had a hit in games , when not in the middle they are cleaned & put in their covers.
Wax used on the back & two coats of oil on the face , extratek applied & all are refurbed between seasons.
You wonder why people don't post what they have , looks like i have to post pics of the bats in use & at rest to justify owning them , @Number4 has personally used 6 of these , feel free to ask his feedback.

Depends on the bat maker I guess. Some bats are some shamelessly overdried I�d think they would go the later

That said, I possibly will collect bats when I stop playing. i hear Tim Keeley has a good collection too.

Thanks Marc , but i think all my future insights & additions will be via "cricket bat geeks" , great bunch of fellow collectors that appreciate special english willow.

posts here would probably call these a waste as well & yes all have been used.

Fantastic collections can be admired and envied at the same time. Surely no harm in that and in my opinion it is great they�re being used.

I think we�re all stating the obvious, opinions divide opinions. No need to get offended.

T20 contracts good $$ to give to charity, good advertising. Had never really noticed what stickers there were, asumed they covered ton branding/engraving.

The omega and powerbow have interesting toes, look like Chris lynn how he chopped an inch off the toe. They also have different shoulders which slope down more than other kb bats. Interested to hear the story of these

Cant find cricket bat geeks place, google finds video of someone who knocked her tooth lose with a bat accident..

Re use/no use. It's all good, bouncing ball on the collection is good times; interactive ornaments, some have storys etc. I've found once ive got more than three bats i scoring well with i dont use the others(one each for low&high bounce pitches, and a sledgehammer for pinch hitting). There isnt really a shortage for anyone, anyone can have a gn custom made if they desire, so i dont see what the problem is:D.. Also even if people use their bats, how much use/runs do they really get. Going by the logic of not using is a waste, only domestic and above should have access to good willow, and lower grades shld use kashmir/g4
