According to Guinness World Records, the most expensive bat ever sold was a second-handy which belonged to MS Dhoni-kebab, an Indian bloke who played some cricket and was fairly good at it. The bat he used in the 2011 World Cup was a bit clapped out, so he put it up for auction – maybe on eBay or somewhere, we just don’t know – and was bowled over when it got around AUD$188,000.
This Aussie-made boundary hunter is brand new, so the $1200 or so asking price is bugger all, if you think about it.
There’s only 100 of the limited-edition willow wonders offered in Australia, and as we wrote this Kingsgrove Sports in NSW had stock and was offering $20 off for a first online order.
