Perfect bat collection...
« on: November 27, 2022, 10:48:23 PM »
Been seeing a few lovely bat collections on Facebook recently.
Made me think, what would a perfect vintage bat collection need.

DF magnum
SS jumbo
Original GN Scoop
Tusker
An original Newbery Keeley
A screaming cat
An original M and H
GM purist

And then I thought I bet Pete and Chad have both got all those.
😂😂

What have I left off?

The Lillee aluminium bat
The graphite Kahuna
Something that Bradman, Grace, a corpulent Sussex bookkeeper used from back in them days
An Indian Tendulkar profile - probs BAS made.

I've got a real soft spot for the Trescothick era GM Maxi, had the tennis ball version as a kid and used to spend hours battering a ball about the garden.

A perfect collection for me would be a mix of the old, the current and the next generation of bat makers here in the UK.

Old
Julian Millichamp
Bernie Facer
Eric Liston

Current
Andrew Kember
Tim Keeley
Robert Pack
Matt Barton
Robert James
Paul Aldred

Future
Jonny Scott Cricket
Mark oxfordshire
There will be some more no doubt

To me that’s the perfect Collection in terms of who made the bats.

GN XP80
GN Warner big bat
GN Chris Lyns Velocity big bat
GN Legend(?) big bat

It is very unlikely Stuart Kranzbuhler will ever make big bats again. These bats belong in the perfect bat list.

Feel like we need a Tony Cook bat and a Bernie Facer bat in the collection.

Anyone remember the Classic Bat Company? They were popular in the 90’s when most of the young cricketing population of Surrey were sponsored by them. They had a butterfly model too which if memory serves was the top end offering. Small bats for the weight

I was recently told I was wrong about the butterfly thing.
