Interesting idea. Once you've got the handle hole in far enough, no reason you couldn't have multiple smaller cores inside, as long as the drill will fit. Could have a twin internal scoop or even a honeycomb of small holes. Could do very interesting things to the vibrational characteristics of the bat as well as MOI. I wonder if anyone has ever used a conventional bat but drilled upwards from the toe and then installed a wooden plug in the toe to do the same thing. Not sure what the MCC will make of all this though.
Clive Lloyd was one of the main reasons for the Windies success. His quiet but resolute competitiveness. His strong, dependable and calm nature. His great understanding of the game and his player's individual talents. His brilliance with the bat and in the field. His huge presence and impressive moustache.
Design seems more like graynicolls wants players to buy a new bat everytime the handle on one of these eventually breaks. Bad quality wood+bad design for repairs = More firewood for winter.
3:40 striving to make a bat where players won't notice the difference, so if this not a perfomative upgrade and you hope players wont notice a difference is the advantage that you can now use timber that previosuly wasn't commercially viable?
When the West Indies were great WORLD Cricket was great, I miss those day's. Unfortunately now the West Indies has all but disappeared in world cricket. Player's these day's ONLY play for the money. Back in the day players were under rated & under paid, the "establishment" made all the money. There were great cricket games back then with great players. Cricket today is good but not GREAT. I may be be old & grumpy but I'm ok with that.
Please accept my respect, Sir Clive Lloyd. I grew up watching you bat and was inspired by how carried out on the field. I never thought I could find you on the RU-vid. Truly, I'm blessed and great to see you again!
