I can drink any night mate, but playing with a collection of bats is just something a lot of people would not appreciate!

I so wish I had your collection! And if I had the dollar I would. But I'll have to settle with my 4 bat collection for now...even though I play like 10 games a year at the moment

Collection just grew over the last year or two!
But it's fun and there are some amazing bats to come yet!! Next will be a lam made for Afridi, even though he obviously would never use one!!

The quality of willow on this next bat is just something else!! But you'll have to wait until the weekend!

I know - got to get the interest back on this topic as I have been too slack!!
But it's worth the wait!! Then as a favour there will be a M&H custom made which has the most perfect pressing and a profile which will blow your mind!!

Anyway, can't start getting too far ahead of myself!

BAT 40 - MB Malik Bubber Sher (Afridi Bat)

This is a very special bat weighing in a around 2'10. This was made for the man himself although being a laminate he obviously wasn't interested in using it, as these players simply never use lams!
Anyway, beautiful grains and taps up better than almost any bat I have! It is simply top notch as good as anything I own!
Not even knocked it in yet so will go carefully when I do.
The stickers would not be to everyones taste but when the bat is this good, who cares!

The edges are pretty generous at just under the 40mm mark but not obscene. And the bat is perfectly balanced with a beautiful pick-up and feel. In short it is a beauty, and is almost certain to play even better than it looks!!
