The 255 Bat Project - COMMUNITY HELP APPRECIATED

[Burma's Finest]

Duely noted. Cheers Colin.

Now, those of you who have been following my bat-making efforts will know that I have been working on the Smasher Sports range which, until today, I had assumed only numbered three. These are the three I have made already:

Today, however, I came across the following images:

Now, the Smasher Sports website says their new bat called The Bully will be coming out soon. As a result of a great many assumptions on my part, do we think that this prototype I've knocked up is plausible?

Yeah, it looks really good. Well done again

Possibly 'Pro' should be black. Good work though.

I also remember reading somewhere that Chris Cairns now uses a GN Phoenix - one of only two players in the world to do so.

edit: Gray Nicolls website in fact

Nice work Saurabh, thanks! I'm guessing that's a KG bat but I could be wrong. As for Bangar, it seems to be a new variant of Sanspareils Greenlands bat. Presumably a Sunny something?

 

[saurabh2185]

I also feel its a KG bat used by Nehra.
Here is shane bond. His bat is the easiest to make as he does not have any sponsors.

M.Sinclair: Slazenger V800 ?
I feel it is Slazenger V800

 

[barmyarmy]

Not sure how up-to-date that is. Bond was definitely using a County last time I saw him play and Sinclair may now have upgraded to the new Slazengers.

Have fixed that now. Cheers.

Now, I have 2 requests guys. Can anyone find me decent images of the front AND back of the Gunn & Moore Maestro as well as the Bradbury Sterling please. I would be hugely greatful. These are the only two bats for which I have very little information. Someone did post a Bradbury pic a while ago but more would be really helpful. :upray

Not sure if this is the latest version but it's what I used to make it for C2k4:
