I might even donate it to my club to raffle off. What do you mean by what type of bat I'm after?

Right just been to pick the bat up, first impressions are good. Had a quick knock with a ball and it seems fairly responsive. Will do more of a full review and photos after my tea. Somethings are just more important!

Also meant to say that it's fitted with a toe guard that's been properly fitted, would they do that on a bat that was not destined to be used?

Right here are the pictures of the bat that I got.  Its a really nice looking and feeling bat and I have tested it a little by bouncing a ball on it albeit gently as I dont want to dammage the surface and it comes of it very nicely, so I am thinking that it could be used as a match bat.  I counted 13 grains with about an inch of heartwood on the outside edge for a right hander.  It also comes complete with toe guard, Im not sure they would have bothered to put this on a bat that was not to be used.

Im in a bit of a pickle as what to do, keep it signed or sand them off and use it as a match bat, think I am going to have to email Warsop some pictures and get their opinion.











Sorry about the poor photography!

Looks far too good a bat to have signatures on it ... the first signature looks familiar, but can't think of the person

Its signed by the Essex 2010 squad, think this is the correct order - Jimmy Foster, Ryan ten Doeschate, Danish Kaneria, Scott Styris, Mark Pettini, Adam Wheater, Tim Phillips, Tony Palladino, Matt Walker, John Maunders, Maurice Chambers, Tom Westley, Jaik Mickleburgh, David Masters, Chris Wright and Grant Flower

The 'Autograph' signature is a seperate sticker to the main bat sticker and on this model it usually has a sticker saying 'Superior' which I presume is interchangable.  Like I say the reason I think it is an actual match bat is due to the toe gaurd on the bottom - unless someone knows more than me (quite likely on here!)

Im not an Essex fan which is why I am thinking of getting rid of the names on it, but that it a bit of a shame - but then so is not using a good bat!

Looks like a 2 spring red handle. Warsop's made in England have 3 black, or at least the 2 I've had did.
