I'm not sure he has a store (certainly didn't last time I met up with him) but I can vouch that Junaid is a good guy with some nice bats to offer. Also if you contact him it may be better to get his phone number as the standard of his emails isn't always the best.

i hope you guys dont mind if i add in a little story in here...

I've usually told my relatives to get me a cricket bat from india... thinking its the best thing when i get it of them, but trust me they woz worthy of just being burnt in the end. 

However when I went to india myself going thru a whole range of cricket bats not even looking at the labels on the bat and this was when vamps were pretty much un heard of (not like i know much about them).  But the first bat I bought was the Vampire Supreme (green redish sort of stickers and grip £30 value for wat i bought it for in india)  Good size, extremely good handle, and nice pick up,  I think if it wasnt for that bat i wouldnt have played straight.

Anyhow now I have a bat called Vampire Blaster (black stickers and black handle £30 bat i bougth from india, retail values range from 150 to 200)  I bought it back in 1999,  I have no words to describe on how good it is but, the handle was just perfect, not to fat not to thin, excellent pick up.  even tho it was a less thicker bat than the supreme, that bat had soo much more in it, the middle and toe were superb, even if your a very powerful batsman this bat would really be the best... i mean i find it so easy to play hooks, front foot and back foot drives, digging out the yorkers and the cut shots. extremely good bat.

I've just put it in for repair now :( i wish i had bought 3 of them tho at the time, but i have another vamp which i have never used but its abuot 6 years old too its called the vamp maestro, its abit thicker than the blaster but the blaster anyday!

The Vamp has gone in for repair!

The Blaster is a quality bat - if anyone ever comes to me for a recommendation without having any specific type of shape/profile in mind I would always steer them to the Blaster.
