IF YOU WOULD LIKE A CLOSE UP VIDEO OF THE ITEM AND TO OBSERVE THE "PING" OF THE BAT, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I CAN SEND THIS VIDEO TO YOU.Ian Bell's Black Stanford T20 Slazenger Air Blade Signature LE Pro Cricket Bat
- This is an incredibly rare cricket bat that I have had for a few years (NB the price is a guide...)
- Cricket fans will recall the Stanford T20 competition in the Caribbean where England faced an overseas team (Stanford Superstars) for $20m.
- The tournament was innovative and was devised by now disgraced Allen Stanford
- Bats were painted black as you can see here
- This actual bat was handmade by Slazenger for Ian Bell. It is new and has been unused but has a few marks which have been acquired over the years from a few knocks during transport etc
- Made from the finest Grade 1+ English willow, reserved for Slazenger sponsored players - Bell was their flagship athlete for years so this is the best of the best
- Adult SH, weighs 2lbs 10oz and has a huge profile
- The model is the Air Blade Signature LE which was endorsed by Bell for a few years
- Oiled, knocked in, toe guard and scuff sheet added by Slazenger
- Genuine pro bats are hard to come by at the best of times and the fact this is painted a gimmicky black colour, I feel I can justify the rarity of this bat
- Hence, I am happy to keep hold of it. I also have Andrew Flintoff's black bat which I may post on eBay
- The item is sold as seen and there are no returns, so please ask any questions before purchasing.
- I do post internationally and the item will be well wrapped and protected
- Please do take the time to check out my other cricket bat listings.
- Many thanks!
