Got a CA Gel - 2'7.5 (with 2 grips) and 40mm edges. It will give you an advantage and you can't see the join without very close inspection. If it wasn't for the Gel stickers, you probably wouldn't even recognise it.

then there are the other type of laminates, where you cannot see the join,they look "normal" in size - it is literall a very thin sheet of willow cleft stuck to the face of a bat. very very hard to tell these. these are laminated for performance. i have a few pics will upload at some point.

Would be interested to see those pics, don't know much about laminated bats other they are a bit 'del boy'

Stick them in a new thread if you can mate

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Oh right found it.

So Newbery have effectively made an illegal bat for a test player, is that right?

No skin off my nose mate, but I see what you mean. Why are they frowned upon then? I have not read much about the subject to be honest

Well from what I have been told at least 5 top internationals use them but it gives an unfair advantage to the batsmen I suppose

How is it cheating then? What advantages do you get from using a laminated bad?

Excuse my ignorance chaps

It is cheating as they are banned

I think the theory was 25% more power but don't quote me
