Well... A mate of mine was doing work experience at the County Ground and he got to watch the players netting, when Tres was batting they were practicing driving over the top. He was playing them pretty well and on one of them he absolutely creamed it, everyone there was saying how good a shot it was and complimenting him. But for whatever reason he didn't like the shot and hurled his bat into the ground, then when the coaches asked him why he was doing it he picked up his bat, held it at an angle and leant on it with his knee, he put all his weight into it and therefore the handle snapped. He then had to go back to the changing rooms as he had only brought one bat out with him and everyone was making fun of him because of his ridiculous reaction.

Would have been quite funny if he tried to snap it but couldn't!

Doesn't strike me as something he would do! Although he does look pretty angry when he gets a low score and drags himself back to the changing room.

Langer had bats from m&h, there is one in the factory showroom with ice stickers. It has about 20 odd straight tight grains. He says it lasted him 3 seasons. That should put everyone that gets a new bat every year to shame!

Your mate should have jumped the fence and grabbed the bat.

I can tell you 100% that langer didnt exclusivley use M&H bats .  He was very much a bat tinkerer and often used a different bat each session - he said changing bats, even within a single innings, helps keep him focused as each has a slightly different feel.

I like the look of Trotts bat as well, dont think id ever buy a gm tho

[turnitayard]

are Trotts actually GMs?

[AlRidd]

Yes it will have been handmade by Kevin at GM

What on earth can possibly be so unsavoury about a net bat?

[Talisman]

I have never sold a bat to Tres, I've been given one of his old ones years ago by his Dad, an M&H and a beauty but it snapped when used by a friend, never lend bats out......

I have a few of his bats here, which I'll take pics of when I get a chance.

Tresco's bat looked like it was going some in the T20 finals, i enjoyed watching him bat very much and was gutted both times when he got out.... pure CLASS

[AlRidd]

Couldn't agree more! Got pinned in the helmet by Cork though!

[Canners]

That was a pretty useful delivery...... he came off better than pollard tho OUCH
