Don't post much on here these days, but thought this was worthy of a thread. Last week I picked up one of Ben Stokes's match bats from a Charity auction where it'd been donated by his agent.
The specs are as follows:
2lb 9oz
39mm edge
66mm spine
Full length blade
Full width blade (108mm)
Things to note, it looks like it's a 2023 bat made for him – presumably the 19th he was given that season, which would add up to the fact it has the late 2023 stickers issued for the World Cup. Profile wise it's a full profile, huge throughout and would really push a bat gauge. There's also a stamp on the rear of the handle with the initials AH, the maker or an identifier for GM?
It's a got a handle which I'm presuming he's shaped himself, with the twine removed from the top half and then tape applied to the bottom half to make it incredibly oval, if not moving towards a triangular shape with it sharp at the back end.
