I've never seen one of those Slazenger Bradman bats. Are they a modern remake or an older vintage edition??
Old edition and has seen some use over the years. Nice middle, but not particularly forgiving on off-centre hits by today's standards (for my crap batting anyway
). Interesting take on the Newbery Excalibur idea in terms of the shoulders.
Unfortunately I can't give too much of a definitive background on its age or even authenticity, as I picked it up in a trade with a kind friend when I needed a bat in a hurry. He had in turn had acquired it from the Cricketers Club in Sydney when it was closing down. It was on display there, but evidently no-one seemed to know why. The story goes it was originally from Kingsgrove cricket store - I've never seen another one in the wild, and I couldn't find out anything about it online. Seen a fair few "99.9", "The Don" and "Classic" versions around, but never another 452.
