I think you won't get the same bat as Talisman has even if you pay £319, every Limited Edition/Pro performance or whatever has never been as good as it could've been unless you push GN. They seem very reluctant in every sense with their bats to me.

I also saw that the toe guard would cost an extra £10 and the knocking in £20.....

For those still awake, on Channel 9 at lunch they have a recorded interview with Alistair Cook about his bat, might be interesting to see just how exact it is to mine....

His'll be worn out soon.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Caught the interview with Alistair Cook regarding his bat. Talked about his ideal weight (being 2.8, 2.9 pushing it) and a preference for nice, tight and straight grains which was what the bat he had on show had. Also stated some of his best bats haven't been much to look at.

Wasn't anything too mind blowing really :)

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Haha, Canners... I thought it might have been after the first 3 days... but apparently the groundsmen in Aus haven't got too much faith in the team either!

Hoping to see something a little more interesting in the coming tests regardless of which way the result goes!

Similar bats are being sold at local stores in UK. I came across a post and pictures in the following link where a chap saw similar stick with similar stick;

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?p=3254970#post3254970

(Scroll a bit down to post 146).

So my point is you can get similar sticks like Mikes but obviously not at that price..

The one on that thread may have a similar profile but the grains are nothing like it.

He really did hit on a one in a million there.
