Bat 1: Kookabura Blade
Weight: 2lb 8
Condition: Used - Refurbed
Edge Size (Widest Point): 26mm
Toe Size: 15mm
Shoulder Size: 12mm
Grains: 12


This bat is actually Mike's, which he sent me to have a look at so if anyone fancies it, I would send him a message!

History: According to Mike this bat belonged to a Middlesex player and was sent to Tim Keeley for a refurbishment but was never collected.

Grains: The bat has 11 well pronounced straight grains.  I'm not normally a fan of heartwood but this bat has a two grain wide strip on the right handers outside edge which actually looks really good. 



Profile: The bat maintains an impressive profile for a bat of this weight (2lb 8), there is a little concaving on the back but nothing extreme at their widest point the edges are 26mm.

My only regret is that I have not had chance to use this bat other than hitting a few catches with it! Not sure what else to write about this little beauty so will let the pictures do the talking!

Got it from Talisman, who said it was made for Kieswetter but has a small tear in the willow on the back where the drawknife got stuck. Easily the best bat in the picture!

Sorry Jon don't know any more... its just got their stickers on anyway its not an actual BW :)
