Look nice I take it these are the lighter ones with concaving?

Any 2lb12-2lb14 ones

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.

Heaviest we have is 2.11 though with a lower middle it will feel slightly heavier.

Harvey -
I know those bats you have posted look nice, but they really don't look anything like the Sachin profile

(unlike the ones in the other link on this thread:

)

-Those bats just look like a relatively standard asian profile bat.  Just my view obviously, but if you are going to buy a Sachin bat you should do it properly, not just get a poor imitation.
If those bats are being sold as really nice bats with clean faces and good grains then that would be fine with me - the look great, but seriously the look nothing like this

Buzz,

As stated in my 1st post they have been made with compromises as they are lighter than 2.12. Some cancaving and obviously the edge size is slightly smaller as the bats are slightly lighter. I'm not claiming that they are an exact match.

I get what you are saying and recognise the caveat you put in your earlier post - but my view is that the adjustments have meant that the bats no longer have anything like the Sachin profile - if you wanted a lighter bat in that profile, then the profile will just have to be smaller (thinner) By adding in the concaving and reducing the edge sizes the bats will have a totally difference look, feel and pickup.

I am very happy for people to disagree with me and I am certainly not questioning the quality of the bats

I was going to post a thread elsewhere about this shape....

As a few will know I used a bat made for Sachin that he had ordered himself rather than a copy, that bat has now found a new owner and I also have used a few copies from the same maker and several of those are also with a new owner. I'd swapped to a rather nice Z de B TT which was too heavy for him but after Instinct started I was promised a free bat in lieu of willow supply and asked for a Sachin.

The result was the biggest Sachin I've seen at his exact weight, 2.13, I have swapped the grip to a double thickness and it now weighs 2.14 including stickers and grip with 41mm edges. I've put it next to a BDM Sachin copy which is 2.13 to give a sense of scale.





The real thing.

I'm going to let Asad have his input as it was he who asked the bat maker to clone the Tendulkar profile.

That's ridiculous, cheers for sharing Mike.

One of the main reasons I started this thread was to find out more about his bats. Has he ever given a reason as to why he uses such a heavy bay for such a small chap?
