signature that was it...couldnt remember as was only 8/9 at the time i think

[jonpinson]

no kook was ridgebacks and bubbles back then...kahuna was newer. M&H is a good shout with their S6 which used to be cork filed rather than wood i think must go back to early 90's id say and my junior cricketing days when my newbery lightweight was in action

Yep, and the Gold Crown, their 'traditional' bat of the time. That one may date further back.

I had a brand new Kookaburra Ridgeback delivered today, bought circa 1988 and stored ever since in a loft, my first senior bat but a dud, however one for the wall. Also a Centurion if anyone remembers them.

Hasn't the Laver and Wood Signature been being made since the start of the Laver brand?

Ah - you were the other bidder on that one on ebay!

Still got an almost new Ridgeback limited edition (300 per year) here. Shame I got it soon before I gave up playing as it was rather good. It would be popular with the straight even grain freaks.

[Talisman]

I cannot remember who used it but I wanted it before I even got to the shop....

I think we bid against ourselves a lot on ebay.... but I won so I'm happy.

The kookaburra ridgeback was the first new bat i ever brought . . .I wanted it as Graham Thorpe used one . . . didn't like it that much . . .didn't last long . . . neither did my fascination with Chalky

My bro had a ridgeback and it was a plank... ridgeback 2000 i believe

i played against a guy using a brand new centurion last season, looked a pretty good stick, are/were they based in southend?

[Talisman]

I think they were, they were another brand with masses of ranges and models.

[Canners]

they must be still knocking about as i saw a brand new one this season.... looked and sounded pretty decent

[Talisman]

I'll have to look for them and would like to refurbish it and fit new labels.

[Canners]

I'l steal the one of that lad for you when i play against him next season he was a right petulant little sh't

You got a Centurion? I had a couple of those and loved them - and the stickers.

I thought they were Symonds bats re-stickered.

Briefly endorsed by Curtley, Courtney and Malcolm Devon.

Now that was a brand!
