The grains on your Joker look quality Pete.

The Joker seems to have a smaller splice than normal (or at least compared to the County), am I right? Does this mean that the middle is longer like bats that have it in the handle?

Yes I think the splice is made to be thinner than a normal one.

Pro-cricket - take a punt like rich and pete, they bought blind and seem pretty damn happy with their purchase and cosidering the amount of bats going through their hands couldnt you take their word that this bat is a bit special? There are already people after second hand jokers, so even if it wasnt what you had hoped for, you could lose out on £40-£50 and sell it on - it's all about a gamble.......rich and pete thought it was worth it......matt has shown the colour of his money.....now it's your turn!

Would like to know how the hell charlie has got that bat down to the weight's he has - swelling clefts could be problematic, the edges save a bit of weight but where are the other couple pounds being saved?

Soaking and drying a cleft is a trick used to press in India when the cleft has over dried, not going to produce a quality bat.

Who else has got one?

I expect you should be able to get 45mm edges with that weight (Just!) - whack up some photos when they arrive!

Grade 1, 2 or 3 - it will still be a huge bat for the weight and likely go like a rocket!  :)
