57.5 Degrees of Pain Aug 2024 4:07pm, 22 Aug 2024 20,508 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain I had one of these: Well knocked in but limited use. As this one is £179 on eBay I should maybe flog it.

kstuart Aug 2024 4:38pm, 22 Aug 2024 5,128 posts	Quote Pin 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.
