Richards
Border
Crowe

What others?

And is there any reason why they haven't managed to have any sort of international presence, basically since Border retired?
Me

Had a contract with them for a while and Magnums were a great bat and coolest at the time

Unfortunately, they were too heavy for me (3lb really felt like 3 lb) so used others from their range ("Ian Botham Attack" and one other) for a while but they were complete planks

Also made excellent protective gear - think they were the first to put reinforcement on index/middle finger of bottom hand

Best I used were Stuart Surridge "Ultimate Jumbo" - same design as Jumbo but maximum weight of 2' 8"
