You know you’re ****ed when a leathery skinned bloke over 50 with wrists as thick as his legs walks out to bat carrying one of these
The Ultimate and the Powerspot absolutely. With the Gray Nics gloves with the red index finger webbing like Slats.

Mate of mine had a bat manufactured by Crown (think it was a New Zealand bat company). I cant find any pictures of them on the web.
Was a very ordinary bat to be honest.
For 20 years I used a GM Maestro, heavy as buggery but was the best bat I ever had.

Used to really like the Boony style gloves with the triple segmented fingers

Remember it as the dynadrive with the black and white check. Quite liked the early - mid 90s powerspot with the shiny spot

Also, want to add (assuming it hasn’t already) the Kookaburra Supreme. A heavy but well balanced stick that could despatch the ball effortlessly. Beautiful bat.

As a junior the Supreme was one of those entry level bats that every kid had who wasn’t a ‘serious’ cricketer - Kashmir, and most importantly didn’t have a ‘gimmick’ sticker on it like the bubble or the ridgeback

I had an English willow LH supreme, excellent bat. On the heavier side though. Was about the thickest stick you’d see, with a very rounded face.
I had the single scoop with the same blue grip as in Gough's pic. Old man's budget never extended to more than one scoop.

i still have my gc master. signed by les favvell and andrew hilditchIt's 1984 and you have to choose a bat.
I managed to buy one of Simon Katich's old bats about 15 years ago, it's still the best bat I've ever owned and still have it in case I end up playing any format again.
Definitely moved away from thick/heavy bats in my early days to really light bats at the peak of my powers. Katitch's bat was super light.
I found with a light bat and a much higher swing speed/faster reaction time, I could put them in the car park with regularity. I couldn't get anywhere near the same power with a chunk/heavy bat.

For a while there was also a simple allocation of which bats were used by who:
Gray Nicholls - Greg Chappell
SS (and the Jumbo) - Viv Richards
Duncan Fearnley - Ian Botham
I think Viv switched to Duncan Fearnley after a while too.

Some modern day cricket bats are pretty hideous. This looks like some bogan tribal tattoo on the back of it. Much prefer the cleaner looks.
GN seem to have diverged their range of stickers between the UK, Aus and even the Sub Continent.
The UK range look shithouse IMO, fully agree

This one? The GMs around this time were so good.
This is the one - retired from paying 8 years ago and still cant bring myself to get rid of it. Was a bit banged up at the end but still had a great middle.
Was the best bat I ever used.
Oh yeah thats a classic.
