Sir Sachin Tendulkar 4

MRF is heavier than Adidas. I mean just look at the meatier portion of the bats you can see the difference.

To think ATG/Nohit use the MRF stickers which was were made popular by Sach/Lara/Waugh makes me hope Sach reverts to MRF atleast for nostalgia

wiz....no chance of that happening...according to my friend's father who works in MRF ,sachin was offered a contract extension with them for another 10 years. But it was sachin who opted for adidas.

AS, appo ATG/Nohit ilavasa innaippa

[Arvind Srinivasan]

wiz.......they had to sign somebody and guess they found both gambhir and rohit to be good options....think the MRF blimp is also a result of sachin not signing the deal.....

[SoftSword]

yes the MRF ones were broader and heavier.....have very distinct memory of the sharjah innings....was just 8 years old and my uncle still remembers me asking whether the hundred in the final was a highlights package of the sandstorm innings .......

LM/SS are the Adidas one from BDM/BAS?

from this until 2007 he was using 3lb 40z

custom made bats from BDM.
He handpicks the willow before giving the preferences for the dimensions of the bat... obviously english willow...
once its carved, it goes through several seasonings both machine and handdone...
of a dozen bat manufactured/delivered in a lot for him, he wants each one of them to be unique like different heights, blade thickness, bottom heavy, lengthy handles etc., (so when the chooses his bats out half a dozen bats in the middle of a pitch, every piece is a unique master's piece... epdiyachum elam utta onnachum vangidanumnu irukkaen)
