Looks like it costs about �25 to post to Australia. But maybe you get hit by import tariffs as well?

Great value! I've been good so far and stuck to my new 2 bat rule (I know that's heresy in here but on orders), but they are certainly worth a punt!

Wow! 2 bat rule? Really? I seem to have accumulated around 10 'amazing bargains' which I am now steadily selling off at the club and Ebay etc.

What it has done is enable me to see and try out a huge range of bats from many manufacturers, honing my repairing skills and usually making a (few) pounds profit along the way. I would highly recommend it for any batting enthusiasts who have a few hours spare (which unusually I did this year).

Of course, instead of all this I could have just bought one amazing custom bat at the start of the year, but not so much fun I think...

@Psi I saw the one Matt had off you. Grains looked pukka but what on earth had happened to the shoulder - did the dog get at it?

Psi · « **Reply #19 on:** July 19, 2019, 01:46:04 PM »

That was my first refurb job - sorry to let it go. Sadly it came from Ebay with the shoulder like that and a massive crack at the toe. Still goes like a train though and only 'Custom bats' pride prevented me using it as a match bat. I did tell Matt I can't guarantee that the shoulder /handle won't break next week. He had other options and chose that - each to his own 😂😂

Stupid question of the day. I am assuming that the V800 yellow v/s orange label bats are similar in shape but the manufacturing year is different?

Same question for white/black v/s blue/red v100

I believe the V800 and V1000 are similar as are the same year in orange/blue and white/blue

They are from memory a different shape to the others. The one I have is certainly sondi made and basically a NB DC shape

Just received my v8000. 2lb 9.5oz, 38mm edge, 65/66 spine might desticker, remove toe guard and use it myself or sell it to a teammate... none will use a Slazenger... might tell them it�s a blank NB 😂 Bounced a ball on it and very softly pressed but taps up very nicely.

My bat came with the yellow stickers

@SOULMAN1012 can you post a picture of the top of the handle so I can compare with my v1000 and see if it is also likely to be Sondhi? And do you know whether the yellow label v800s are basically the same as your orange label v800? Older? Newer?

V800 g3s all gone. Well done the Forum. Keeping Mike Ashley afloat for another season.

Just tried to order myself a v800. They must of recently changed or can't send sale bats to Australia. Absolutely devastated

The following products cannot be delivered to the country selected:
Slazenger V800 G2 Cricket Bat

>.< yea, same with NZ now also. wonder if the shop on amazon still sends to AUS/NZ

Yea I can post pics on Monday of the handle as the bats at work. The yellow/black V800 is a slightly different profile with a really pronounced duck bill toe and bulge in the playing area, it�s a bit like a Laver & Wood ultra shape in my opinion.
