Review of Gray Nicolls Millennium

Gray Nicolls Millennium

Advantages: good stroke play,midium weighted
Disadvantages: as for others also....initial punching required

...I have found that, over the years, the name gray nicholls is synonymous with quality and they certainly live up to this title with this bat, made to celebrate the millennium. The class of the company is noticed when one considers the number of international cricketers around the globe that endorse their products. In this bat they, once again, manage to get a good pick up and balance, something I find quite hard to find, especially on slazenger and newbury bats. One also has the option of being able to customise where you want the middle, for example, lower down if you intend to play on damp soft pitches, or higher up if the grounds are harder and somewhat bouncier. In addition, gray nicholls offer an oval handle, which makes it a lot easier to play straight down the line of the ball, as this is the natural motion, so in theory this...

Review of Gray Nicolls Millennium

MY favourite bat

Advantages: Sweet wood
Disadvantages: breaks

...**Introduction** I need to start off by categorically stating that I am not a fan whatsoever of gray nicolls bats. I believe they are very average and are made to look so good because matt hayden and andy symonds use these bats, hence the publicity, as these two players are some of the worlds greatest! However, I heard that the bat had a good middle, so I purchased one at a reduced cost and starting using the bat for a few nets! **Preparation** I prepared the bat very well, knocking in throughly and oiling well. This process took me a long time, but I hoped that by the end, I would have a good bat! Whilst knocking in, a process which I did for about eight hours altogether, I was pleasantly surprised with the result. The bat seemed to have a very good middle and a decent toe, which was essential for the type of pitches that I...

Stunman Ignition Fresh Out The Kitchen?

Advantages: Brilliant fun - Adrenaline punped game
Disadvantages: Could be longer, that's about it

...When I bought Stuntman: Ignition I had no idea really what the game was like or what you did, I was pretty much completely in the dark. It was my first game for the 360, and i think that it did not disappoint. At first I found it bizarre how you drive around quickly being told what to do, then i found myself getting hooked on it i litrally could not put it down it was so intense and the speed of everything can amuse anyone for hours. I loved the way it had the fictional movies that resembled great movies such as The Dukes Of Hazzard, James Bond, Batman and Starsky And Hutch. One key feature that makes this game quite unique was the build-an-arena style mode where you could create your own arena to do stunts on and trash it up whilst playing it, very fun - very similar to the tony hawks skate boarding park creators. Stuntman is...

Review of Stuntman: Ignition (Xbox 360)

Stuntman: ignition- much better than the first.

Advantages: Much easier than the first, more playable
Disadvantages: Multiplayer a dissapointment- should've been left out and done with

...Stuntman: ignition lets you take the driving seat as a professional stunt driver performing various tasks as instructed by the stunt co-ordintor. You'll be told to jump, skid, 180, and many other actions that the directors think will look good. The career mode is similar to the first- you get strapped into a car start driving and get instructions along the way, there is a little more variety than the first, there are escapes, chases, a race, and the usual scenes of just your vehicle being shot at, racing down the side of an exploding volcano, destroying enemy nuclear weapons. Sadly, nothing in the adverts you are allowed to do, you do stunts similar to those, but none the same- No 2-wheeling the pickup truck past a huge pile of rubble, no barrel-rolling whilst shooting enemies, and the taxi-cab skidding under the parked lorry...

Bat Out Of Hell - Truly Amazing!

Advantages: Just a fantastic rock album!
Disadvantages: None!

...Bat Out Of Hell is an album, which was released by Meat Loaf in October 1977. The album contains 7 songs and is 46:33 long. The songs were produced and written by Jim Steinman and Todd Rundgren. It is the the third best-selling album worldwide - which gives you an idea of just how fantastic it truly is! 1. Bat Out Of Hell (9:48) 2. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (5:04) 3. Heaven Can't Wait (4:38) 4. All Revved Up With No Place To Go (4:19) 5. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (5:23) 6. Paradise By The Dashboard Light (8:28) 7. For Crying Out Loud (5:45) I'd heard my brother and dad saying how good Meat Loaf was, but as i didn't really like alot of the music that they do, i thought he would just be another one of these people who scream songs and you can't tell a word that they are saying. Upon listening to the 'Bat Out...

Review of Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf

beast of a bat

Advantages: a really nice middle
Disadvantages: Kashmir Willow

...LOOKS This Bat in my view is one of the best looking bats around and has not got to much pictures on the bat like the Kookaburra angry beast. I think the blue and red go very well together and really look good. Even the grip fits in with the style having blue slashes on it done by "the beast". The beast itself is not overdone but it still noticeable from a distance. I think the fact that the wood is unbleached giving it a more white effect looks better for it's style than a darker wood. I love the looks because you can really show the bat off and not worry about being seen bating with it. POWER The middle on this bat is awesome you can hit a cricket ball miles and you really know when you have caught it right. As for the bat itself it is very forgiving of bad shots and has a lot of power. The bat has great power considering it is...

Review of kookabura little beast cricket bat

Gray Nicholls- a cut above the rest?

Advantages: glorious bat in the hands with a great middle
Disadvantages: quite a heavy bat requires good strength and speed

...In my experience of Gray-Nicholls bats there has been a mixed bag, Gray Nicholls rate all their bats with stars and the rating is from one to 5 (5 being the best) now I have used a 3 star bat right up to the 5 star ones and i'll tell you now that if you want to be the batsman of the season and hit 100's of runs then the bat to get is a Gray-Nicholls with a 5 star rating. Many top international and county players use them and they perform time and time again. Most of their bats are made in England with premium english willow anyway which automatically makes them a cut above the rest. The bat is the trademark bat of Michael Atherton remade and is perfect for guiding the ball around the ground for 4's and can also be used by the more attacking batsman to hit that ball for six. The bat is on the heavier end of the scale although it feels...

Review of Gray Nicolls Excalibur

Bat Out Of Hell - Great Eardrum Exercise

Advantages: Iconic album, brilliant songs, awesome voice.
Disadvantages: Not everyones taste, maybe too much disparity in song types for just 7 songs.

...Introduction Bat out of Hell is the third best selling album of all time, behind Thriller and Back In Black, and here's why I think that might be... I first heard the song Bat Out Of Hell eight years ago, when I was only ten, and didn't think that much to it. What I didn't realise however, was what I had heard on the free Daily Mail CD of Power Ballads, was an awfully watered down and pitifully edited four minute version of the song. I soon came to realise that Bat Out Of Hell was only to be listened to if you have the original edit, and ten minutes to spare, when my dad delved into his dusty record collection and cranked up the volume on his old player, just to prove that what I had listened to was not what Meat Loaf intended to be heard, and I quickly disposed of the god awful free CD. So I sat and listened, and thought the song...

Review of Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf

Hells Bells - Like a Bat out of Hell

Advantages: An absolute classic album
Disadvantages: None

...Is it really thirty years since this album was originally released ?(well coming up for 29 to be precise becasue it was originally released on 21 October 1977). This is rightly rated as one of the greatest albums ever produced, and despite their only being seven tracks on the album, each of them is quite lengthy in nature. This is definitely a case of quality and quantity. If there is anybody out there who has never heard of Meatloaf, or have only grown up with the later stuff such as I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that) then you haven't lived. This is the ultimate in classic rock, and there really isn't a weak track on the album. Bat out of Hell is Meatloafs (aka Marvin Lee Aday) second album and by far his most successful. The artwork on the album cover is second to none and depicts a motorbike riding off like a bat...
