Does anyone have any info (links or pics) of the new Gray Nicolls Fusion?

This is Matthew Haydens new bat which he has been using since the boxing day test match.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the pics JP, much appreciated.

I am yet to understand bat companies obsession with lime green. It isn't the most attractive colour in the world

Lime Green is a Great Colour!! I guess Gray Nicolls are just replacing the Longbow with this bat. Since Longbow is almost gone here in Aus.

As far as I know it was never intended to replace the longbow, nor to become a mainstream bat. It will be a while before we see these on the shelves, if at all according to people I've talked to in cricket shops around the place. Unfortunate though, as i wouldn't mind ownign something with edges and a blade like that =). Additionally, I would disagree that longbow is almost gone here in Aus, I still bowl at plenty of them, and have owned one not to long ago.

Hey there Crackton,

What are your preferences when it comes to a bat? If you like the bowed blades you could look at any number of Indian bats that would be just as good or better than the Powerbow, and cost less.

Hey clobber,

I am looking at a light bat with thick edges with a bow. I know of a guy here who will sell GN bats for cost price ( around $180 US). He likes to promote the game here in the US and is an authorized GN stockist.

 

Do U have  any info on Woodworm?

Iam not too keen on Indian made bats.

You could always drop them an email and ask if they have a stockist in the USA

This is about the new gray nic fusion which will be one of the best bats of all time, In Wa theres also this bat called the gray nicolls XXX  FANTASTIC bats and can be customly made to your preferences they are extremely thick and pick up well if you ask for the right shape!!

well a mate of mine in Aussie just got a GN Fusion Players, it is 2'9, but feels like 2'6 according to him.  It has a carbon handle...pings like a gun, and very very expensive!  Its shape reminds me off the standard Heritage range of Laver and Wood.
