I have found that, over the years, the name gray nicholls is synonymous with quality and they certainly live up to this title with this bat, made to celebrate the millennium. The class of the company is noticed when one considers the number of international cricketers around the globe that endorse their products. In this bat they, once again, manage to get a good pick up and balance, something I find quite hard to find, especially on slazenger and newbury bats. One also has the option of being able to customise where you want the middle, for example, lower down if you intend to play on damp soft pitches, or higher up if the grounds are harder and somewhat bouncier. In addition, gray nicholls offer an oval handle, which makes it a lot easier to play straight down the line of the ball, as this is the natural motion, so in theory this should minimise the number of times you play around the straight one. Unfortunately the bat comes at a fairly high price, but has served me well over the past season.
