Little Master, big bat

Thanks to Prabu, here's some of your actual empirical evidence as to the size and shape of that most mythical and productive of weapons, Sachin Tendulkar's bat [you can read the story of how Sachin came to hand it over in the comments beneath this post].

Weight: 3lbs 2oz [1.4 kilos]

Edge at its thickest: 1.25"

Bow of the bat at its meatiest point: 2.25"

So it's true: the Tendulkar bat does top 3lbs. And as Prabu points out, not everyone can bat with it...
