Hi boys and Girls sat down in work today  and chatting to our cricket Director and i thought i would take a few pictures and post them up here on the forum of a bat he was given by Marcus Trescothic. Our director used to Play at Somerset with Botham and Viv Richards and is a source of information and full of great stories some i could tell on the forum and others not for fear of being hung and shot or ending up in a jamaican lambe curry. The bat has had test match use and is always good to see the shape and grains etc that a real pro uses!! i shall try and post other stuff on gear we have from pros that has been donated and sent in.

[keysersolze]

Hang on Fella trying to post some more pics and its Julian Wyatt

Wow, you wouldn't think that a sponsered pro would use a bat so it got mashed up that much!

[procricket]

if they get a good un they use it till it is unfixable

[keysersolze]

Yeah but we had an international batsman in aswell today an England player and he was saying that he likes to hang on to a bat for as long as possible to get a good feel for it and only uses another bat exactly the same in the nets too. And this is one of trescos very old bats.

[ianbuchanan]

what an awesome thing to have! that looks like the range he used through the 2005 ashes.... would love to have a bat like that.

[keysersolze]

It  pics up nice and is very light, we get a lot of pros and former and current international bats men in to the cricket centrehere, but we are not allowed to comment or say who comes in or out. It is a shame as you get to hear some great stories and stuff. Hope you guy like it as its nice to get to see some close up shots of a pros bat.

[procricket]

as catusfatus has probably asked is it for sale?

[Liam-SCCC]

Where do you work mate?

[Bulldog Cricket]

Hi Keysersolze. Say hello to Julian from me. He should remember me !! if not he will remember my brother and brother in law who both played for Somerset with him.

[procricket]

bloody hell with the amount of somerset folk on here it should be called custom cider bats

[SillyShilly]

He used to coach the Somerset Junior sides when i was playing - he was genuinely a top bloke and a very good coach as well, well liked and probably a good bloke to have directing things! No suprise he has managed to get hold of a few rarities.......that bat looks very Banger-Esque with that thick bottom hand!

[keysersolze]

I will pass on your regards to jules and yeah he is a top bloke and cricket coach, and i just sit there every now and then and pepper him with questions and download some of his cricket knoledge into my brain as i think what he don't know about cricket ain't worth knowing, but thats just my opinion but it is great listening to stories about being on the beer with botham and viv richards lol!!!
