He uses a Gray Nicolls which is an absolute gun; plus he was due a score as hadn't scored a run since his 160*. He has such a good eye.

Don't know him, but here's a picture of Dan's current bat. Looks like a short blade?

One of our 1st XI players managed to acquire one of Dan Lawrence's and one of Ben Stokes' GM bats; they both picked up lovely. Our ex 1st XI captain (now Chairman of Cricket) played in our 2nd XI on Saturday and used the Ben Stokes' one and said he hit one of the best shot ever with it. I assume you are at Canterbury watching the Lions?

540mm blade at a guess?

Alfie?

No,  I was at the Oval when Essex were there. Don't think he was happy with the lbw decision he got.

Remind me? What is standard/traditional?

That bat arguably wouldn't make the LE cut on looks as an off-the-shelfer?

[Bats_Entertainment]

Sorry, not Alfie. He wouldn't have played in 2s.

Chris?

Yes, Alfie Taylor; he manages to acquire a lot of stuff off of Dan from Essex and England including Dom Sibley's shirt which he wore for a bad shirt night at the club's end of season night.

Chris?

Alfie would have been in the 1st XI in 2014; are you thinking of Chris Baldock? Chris moved to Valencia at the end of last season but came back and played in one of the games in cricket week where he took a screamer at gully 1st ball of the innings and we won on the last ball with one wicket remaining.

Alfie was still in 1s last time I looked. Good player!

I figured he would get stuff off Dan as I know they used to spend a lot of time together practicising.

Yes, Chris Baldock was my second guess when I re-read and realised it said second team.

555mm the standard, GM short blades in recent years have largely (all?) been 15mm shorter. Think the Kaha was the last one that was shorter than that but I could well be wrong.

It was Jamie Hill who used Ben Stokes' bat; I had recently refurbished his Kookaburra that he got when Dan was supported by them and Jamie gave it to someone and that person did not have it when he asked for it.

Okay, nice fella is James. Say hello from a mystery person.

Who shall I say is this mystery person?

Erm, it's a mystery?

I did mention it to Blakey a few weeks ago, but he has played with and against so many people, he cannot figure it out.
