Cheers CD - unfortunately I only had the camera on my old iphone 3, which is bearly ok quality!
Wish I had of had the iphone4 camera as it takes better pics!!
Anyway, more to follow.....

To be honest, it is not that bad either. For guys like me who are sitting across the Atlantic and have no way to go to the factory is a very very good opportunity and fun to see the pictures because these pictures can never be found on internet no matter how much research one do.

So something better than nothing but you have done a impressive job and I applaud your efforts.

Its shame you didn't take your sweater with you otherwise we could see different angle pictures :P

The bat above Aluminium bat looks like a sword lol

I think both Mike (Talisman) and myself would have had that Aluminium bat away if either of us would have been wearing a baggy jumper! A real piece of cricketing history and a very rare addition to anyones collection!!
I've got one on my bedroom wall :p, not as good condition as that one though!

Cheers CD - I'm glad my efforts are appreciated!

And Tom - they are worth a fair few quid too! It was great to have the history of bats explained!

Pete awesome pics mate. What bat is that in the last few photos being made? Not a 2011 GM shape, maybe one of yours? ;)
