kstuart 22 Aug 4:38pm, 22 Aug 2024 5,128 posts	0 kstuart I had a GM bat as a youngster and i think it was a GN bat but it def had a Hick 405 branding on it too. I did own whites of my own plus pads to go with my bat. Even got asked a few times to fill in for a village team when they were short of players cos the local village butcher played for them and i was well known for raining cricket balls all over the buildings around the village green.
