Happy new year one and all! I’ve been frantically digging out the kit ahead of winter nets getting started properly. It’s bad practice but I’d left my number one in its bat cover through the colder months so had it out today ahead of giving it a little clean up.
I know we all love a brand new shiny piece of willow on this forum but I’m also a sucker for the weathered pieces. Not that I score enough runs but when I see a well worn bat, it really does look great in my opinion. I’m a ‘mark remover’ most of the time and I scrub particularly hard at the pink ones from the T20’s we play.
So here’s mine, an okay season, I definitely left some runs out there and used my inside edge a lot by the looks of it as the outside edge still looks polished. Oh and the grip definitely needs replacing before I lose the bat into lane two in the first winter slog.
How is yours looking?
