To anyone who knows anything about cricket the possibility of playing with a Gray Nichols cricket bat is the ultimate. To have that cricket bat signed by arguably the world's greatest cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is beyond imagination!! Yet that's exactly what young Luke has to share with his mates when he returns to school on Monday. Thanks to Luke's dad Stuart Kranzbuhler, who is a production manager for this most famous of brands and the man behind the design and production of cricket bats for all the world greats, Luke met with his idol this morning and received the gift of a lifetime! We're very excited for you Luke and thanks for sharing this special celebration with us!

Interesting too, in speaking with Stuart to learn how each cricket bat produced under his watchful eye differs from player to player. For example Sachin's bat is much heavier and different in shape to David Warner's. Thanks again to the Krauzbuhler family for sharing!
