So I made an error on my last visit and headed over to the old Newbery side of the “shed” for a bit of a trip down memory lane and to enjoy the Cadbury purple stickers. Whilst there I spotted an old Uzi, I’ve always loved the Uzi, my first shorter blade bat, got me my first senior 50 and 100.
An all round brilliant shape, middle a bit high for some I imagine but for me it was spot on and picking one back up just brought all the great memories back of playing the game as a kid. More fun, no other worries and just spending hours in the nets until the sun was going down, or those first senior games when you weren’t really sure what was going on and 50 overs felt so so long.
I got chatting with Tim about it and asked him how he would make it again, if he made one today. (This was when I made the error). He explained, I liked the sound of it and asked him to give it a go whenever he had the chance as I would probably take a modern version of my dearly beloved Uzi.
Have waited a fair while but here it is… an absolute monster and I am made up with it.
2.10ish
3/4 inch shorter blade
“Dhoni” style (more like classic style) round toe.
Btw if anyone wants to join the petition for Keeley to bring a Cadbury purple sticker to their Worx and Superior ranges please let me know. It didn’t work on the day but I don’t intend to stop asking them for it 🤣
