Lucky bat, eh?
« on: October 12, 2010, 05:34:55 PM »
Just read this on Cricinfo'

''Sachin Tendulkar has scored 13 hundreds with this bat, according to Sunil Gavaskar''

It is quite interesting to see how much Sachin cares about a bat. If you do a bit research you will notice that Sachin uses this same bats only in games not in nets. This is the same bat with which Sachin scored double century in ODI.

I am not sure but if Sachin believe so much in a bat then I would say this bat is really on its last leg. Even if Sachin gets a refurb the bat will not be same at all.

This bat doesn't have enough life to be used against New Zealand.

Pictures are here;

I bet it flies! I reckon he tests dozens of bats in the nets, but uses the Creme de la creme for Matches.

Yup! If you see his other pictures such as nets you will notice he doesn't use the same bat in nets.

Just like Warney wouldn't bowl in nets...

The bat has enough life in it to hit 2 big 6's in 1 over!

Someone told me that he wouldn't bowl in nets because he didn't want to waste his wicket taking delivery.

Warne was not a fan of training full stop or coaches well certain ones

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Never knew that. Imagined him as the sort of guy who would spend hours upon hours in the nets.
