I'm watching the test match now and I am a bit suspect about the size of his bat. I know he's a big guy but that is huge!

He does use 3lbish bats, they're the most unwieldy lumps ever. 2" longer blade on them too so they don't pickup light

I heard he uses 3lb bats and he is a big boy so if anyone can weild one he would

3lbs!!! No wonder he crushes it down the ground.

a 3lb monster would take me a day to play a shot

I suppose they could be laminates so would look huge in comparsion to 'normal' bats

Lamination does not increase size, just increases power.

Talisman · « **Reply #10 on:** June 28, 2010, 09:23:03 PM »

Or natural density.

ahh didnt know that..they always look massive so assumed they were engineered to be bigger rather than pingier..you live and learn

surely if you stick a lump of wood on the back of a bat to make a laminate then it makes the bat bigger!

procricket · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2010, 09:35:47 PM »

it not a full bat then added wood i think it best mike or somebody explain better than me
