started this year's pre season last night and after training was wandering around the shop at the Gillespie Centre and I saw a stick of
timber for $1000 :shock:


I nearly cried :cry:


That the GM players grade stick? seen that a while back in there. All you need to do is hang round a sponsored player at your club and get there old stick when the new ones come in :lol: usually only 12 months old and players grade willow

Somebody can have my bat :)

Batted at 11 all year and didn't make it to double figures once.

Did hit one about 20m over the rope at lyndoch so we know it is probably an ok bat in the hands of a competent operator :)

Yeah, apparently some interstate stores have had their stock stolen off the shelf :shock:

True but most of the ones I know either keep their timber or break them..... handy for gloves and pads though as they are not as attached....


I did hear Callum Ferguson has a dedicated room in his house to store his timber. I can't confirm if he catalogues them or not :lol:
