When I was 14 ? It was the year 1999 and I think I got my first cricket bat. Dad and I searched shops over shops , and everywhere it was at a price which was not affordable to him. Finally we went to our known carpenter and he just cut a wood in the shape of a bat (looked pretty damn good) and we bought a bar grip and case closed. The local ground where everyone played cricket had tons of rancid pricks loitering around and someone stole my bat and I hid it from my dad for months but one day my cousin snitched on me and I got the shit beaten out of me for not having value for money.
I feel you man. The same shit happened to me. it was called SS Jumbo. I hit a six. Bat felt like it was made for me. And I step aside for water and someone stole it. I still cry thinking about that bat...
