Newbery cricket bats were made to be played with and I have refurbed this so that it can go back out to the middle.
Wonderfully light, 5 wide, evenly spread grains and a lovely ping.
Early 2000 model coming from the renowned Newbery stable.
Delamination face split fully repaired, glued, clamped and sanded smooth with a 800 grit. Great condition for age.
Whilst I think this should be played with I have left it 'naked' as collectors and enthusiasts may well consider this rare Extra Cover - particularly with the X1 shoulder stamp.
However, if yours buying to play with (and I would) then just ask and I can apply edge tape to both sides.
Finished with a good coat of linseed wax and a brand new enkay rubber grip.
Please ask for more photos or if you have any questions.
