I heard somewhere he gets 300 bats a year given to him so plenty to go around

But Tim keeley has made bats for him and so has Marty Graham and so on

[oldfudger]

Hasn't ask for a specific weight, it's all about the feel. Will probably be 2lb 12ish though.

what make / model would this be ?

[Tom]

Both.

[Coach]

Collingwood uses a 2'9-2'10, surprising for the size of them! 

[400notout]

Does Colly not use a heavier net bat too?

[eaowbear]

Remember reading in a cricket equipment pull out that Ian Bell uses 2lb 8oz, Matt Prior 2lb 9oz and Graeme Swann 2lb 10oz (I think, might be 2lb 11oz) as he said he likes to look down at his bat and be confident with it

Think it is this one - a 4lb net bat he uses to try and make sure the bat comes down straight!

Go on the GM website and watch the swanny videos - think he says 2'10 - 2'10.5 but goes on pickup.

Best place to find out is watch the Domestic T20, they have their weights/fav bands etc as they come in

[Tom]

They're often not correct, players supply the weight yes - but lots of players don't know or they have different weight bats. For example Gareth Andrew had 4 different weights of bats last season - the MMi3's were 12 oz and 2lb 15 oz. The CoR3 were 2 lb 10 and 9oz. The form they fill in from Sky though only asks about one bat though.

[400notout]

Ah i see, yeah they have so many to choose from it probably changes daily. From what the majority say it's on pickup and feel.

Interesting read this many have said they have made bats for Tendulkar and indeed anybody could turn up and offer him a bat if you have some kind of reputation..

Ask Marty how many he has made for Tendulkar i suspect you find the answer in the picture he puts on his website.

Good bit of marketing if you ask me.

oh forgot to say the 2 players i know both get 2lb 9oz

[roco]

Marty nay have made one but more than likely repaired a few for him while there but mike said tim has had bats requested by sachin (well his agent for him) so good enough for me
